ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBLE USE OF NANOCLUSTERS OF Pt , Pd AND THEIR ALLOYS FOR RECORDING INFORMATION

Abstract

On the basis of a computer simulation the possibility is evaluated of using individual nanoclusters of Pt and Pd as well as Pd-Pt nanoalloy particles as bits of information built on the principle of changing the phase state of the carrier. It is concluded that the most appropriate material to create the memory elements are nanoclusters of alloy Pd-Pt with 10% content of platinum atoms and diameter D≥3,5 nm.
