Estimation of stability of CuAu nanoparticles of different type

Abstract

The thermal stability of the structure of nanoparticles (D = 5 nm) of various types (binary alloy, core-shell, «Janus» type) and with different percentage of copper atoms was studied by molecular dynamic simulation. The most thermodynamically advantageous variants of the structure were determined and the influence of various temperatures on the structural stability of these nanoparticles was studied.
