Nanoparticles can be beautiful, as in stained glass windows, or they can be ugly as in wear
and corrosion debris from implants. We estimate that there will be about 70 000 papers in …

The deformation of interatomic distances with respect to those of the perfect crystal
generates atomic-level strain. In nanoalloys, strain can arise because of finite size …

Surface segregation phenomena dictate core–shell preference of bimetallic nanoparticles
and thus play a crucial role in the nanoparticle synthesis and applications. Although it is …

Nanoalloys are bi-or multi-component metallic particles in the size range between 1 and 100
nm. Nanoalloys present a wide variety of structures and properties, which make them …

This article reviews recent advances in our understanding of how temperature affects the
structure and the phase of multimetallic nanoparticles. Focusing on bimetallic systems, we …

The coalescence of nanoclusters fabricated in the gas phase is a fundamental growth
mechanism determining cluster shapes, sizes, compositions, and structures, with resultant …

The evolution towards equilibrium of AuCo, AgNi and AgCu nanoparticles is studied by
molecular dynamics simulations. Nanoparticle sizes of about 2.5 nm are considered, in the …

Abstract Poly (styrene@ N-isopropylmethacrylamide)[P (ST@ NPM)] microgel particles were
produced by seed facilitated free radical precipitation polymerization technique and laterly …

The structures of AgCu, AgNi, and AgCo nanoalloys with icosahedral geometry have been
computationally studied by a combination of atomistic and density-functional theory (DFT) …

Bactericidal nanoparticle coatings are very promising for hindering the indirect transmission
of pathogens through cross-contaminated surfaces. The challenge, limiting their …
