Size-dependent melting of Bi nanoparticles
Nanocalorimetry was used to investigate the melting of Bi nanoparticles. The particles were formed by evaporating Bi onto a silicon nitride substrate, which was then heated. The particles self-assemble into truncated spherical particles. Below 5-nm average film thickness, mean particle sizes increased linearly with deposition thickness but increased rapidly for 10-nm-thick films. As expected, s...
متن کاملSize-dependent catalytic and melting properties of platinum-palladium nanoparticles
While nanocatalysis is a very active field, there have been very few studies in the size/shape-dependent catalytic properties of transition metals from a thermodynamical approach. Transition metal nanoparticles are very attractive due their high surface to volume ratio and their high surface energy. In particular, in this paper we focus on the Pt-Pd catalyst which is an important system in cata...
متن کاملSize-dependent fracture of silicon nanoparticles during lithiation.
Lithiation of individual silicon nanoparticles was studied in real time with in situ transmission electron microscopy. A strong size dependence of fracture was discovered; that is, there exists a critical particle diameter of ∼150 nm, below which the particles neither cracked nor fractured upon first lithiation, and above which the particles initially formed surface cracks and then fractured du...
متن کاملSize dependent melting mechanisms of iron nanoclusters
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the change in the mechanism of iron cluster melting with increasing cluster size. Melting of smaller clusters (e.g., Fe55 and Fe100) occurs over a large temperature interval where the phase of the cluster repeatedly oscillates between liquid and solid. In contrast, larger clusters (e.g., Fe300) have sharper melting points with surface melting pr...
متن کاملGrowth of ZnO nanowires catalyzed by size-dependent melting of Au nanoparticles.
We present a general approach to growing ZnO nanowires on arbitrary, high melting point (above 970 degrees C) substrates using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism. Our approach utilizes the melting point reduction of sufficiently small (5 nm diameter) Au particles to provide a liquid catalyst without substrate interaction. Using this size-dependent melting effect, we demonstrate catal...
