چکیده
The CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method provides a powerful tool for the calculation of phase diagrams. It is based on thermodynamic databases gathering information on the relative stabilities of pure substances and mixing properties of alloys. We have added a size dependent contribution to an existing CALPHAD description of the Au-Ge bulk system. The parameters are optimized using composition and temperature dependent surface energies calculated according to the Butler model. The effect of particle size on the phase diagram is discussed for spherical nano-particles.

Controlled growth of hexagonal gold nanostructures during thermally induced self-assembling on Ge(001) surface
Nano-sized gold has become an important material in various fields of science and technology, where control over the size and crystallography is desired to tailor the functionality. Gold crystallizes in the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase, and its hexagonal closed packed (hcp) structure is a very unusual and rare phase. Stable Au hcp phase has been reported to form in nanoparticles at the tips ...
متن کاملSize-dependent phase diagram of nanoscale alloy drops used in vapor--liquid--solid growth of semiconductor nanowires.
We use in situ observations during high-temperature transmission electron microscopy to quantify the exchange of semiconductor material between Au-Ge vapor--liquid--solid seed drops and Ge nanowires (NWs). By performing simultaneous measurements under identical conditions on arrays with systematic variations in NW diameter, we establish the nanoscale size dependence of the temperature-dependent...
متن کاملSurface phase diagrams for the Ag–Ge(111) and Au–Si(111) systems
Based on results from recent structural studies and an overview of the literature, we propose surface phase diagrams for the Au–Si(111) system in the supermonolayer regime and for the Ag–Ge(111) system in the submonolayer region. In addition, time–temperature–transformation (T–T–T) curves are proposed to represent the metastable structures present in surface phase systems. © 2000 Elsevier Scien...
متن کاملNanoscale structural engineering via phase segregation: Au-Ge system.
A tunable structural engineering of nanowires based on template-assisted alloying and phase segregation processes is demonstrated. The Au-Ge system, which has a low eutectic temperature and negligible solid solubility (<10(-3) atom %) of Au in Ge at low temperatures, is utilized. Depending on the Au concentration of the initial nanowires, final structures ranging from nearly periodic nanodisk p...
متن کاملNanophase diagram of binary eutectic Au-Ge nanoalloys for vapor-liquid-solid semiconductor nanowires growth
Although the vapor-liquid-solid growth of semiconductor nanowire is a non-equilibrium process, the equilibrium phase diagram of binary alloy provides important guidance on the growth conditions, such as the temperature and the equilibrium composition of the alloy. Given the small dimensions of the alloy seeds and the nanowires, the known phase diagram of bulk binary alloy cannot be expected to ...
