Absence of a pressure gap and atomistic mechanism of the oxidation of pure Co nanoparticles
Abstract
3d transition metal nanoparticles are of interest in fields ranging from spintronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. This paper provides a detailed picture of the oxidation of cobalt nanoparticles and benchmarks the development of models for the metal oxidation and magnetic phenomena at the nanoscale.
