Investigation of the stability of nanostructures to degradation

Abstract

The paper presents the dependence of the degradation degree in various aggressive media and time in a medium. The greatest deterioration in crystallographic characteristics of nanostructures in corrosive media is observed on the day 10th , which is due to partial destruction of the crystal structure as a result of oxidation processes. Also, an increase in the oxygen concentration in the structure leads to an increase in disorder regions, amorphization, and subsequent destruction of samples.
