Melting Behavior of Bimetallic and Trimetallic Nanoparticles: A Review of MD Simulation Studies

Analysis of Dynamical Peculiarities in Nanoalloys at Subsystems Level: Dynamical Degrees of Freedom, Temperature Differences, and the Chameleon Effect

“…Early studies of the dynamics and thermodynamics of nanoalloys [5][6][7][8][9]11,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] evolved into an area of intense ongoing research activity (see, e. g., Refs. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and the citations therein). Dynamical properties of 13-atom Ni/Al clusters have been explored and characterized using global descriptors such as caloric curve, RMS bond length fluctuation in the entire system, and specific heat.…”

The evolution mechanism of an FeMo alloy catalyst for growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes

“…As the temperature increases, the active atoms with a higher atomic Lindemann index (larger than 0.15) can transfer high energy to adjacent atoms to activate them. 39 As a result, Fe NPs homogeneously melt from the surface into the interior (shown in Fig. S3(a), ESI †).…”

Recent advances in nanoantibiotics against multidrug-resistant bacteria

“…6A). [163][164][165][166] Copper-silver alloy nanoparticles (Cu-Ag NPs) achieved excellent antibacterial effects against both Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacteria by releasing copper (Cu 2+ ) and silver ions (Ag + ), 167 which bound to different locations of bacteria, such as suldes, proteins, and DNA. The MIC against S. aureus and E. coli was 3 and 2.5 mg L −1 , respectively.…”
