By molecular dynamics simulation it is shown that interdiffusion in the initial f.c.c. Ag-core ( 28 at. %) – Ni-shell ( 72 at. %) and Ni-core ( 34 at. %) – Pd-shell ( 66 at. %) nanoparticles can lead to surface–sandwich segregation. It is observed that there is a separation of the initial Ag-Ni core-shell structure into Ag-core – Ni-intermediate shell – Ag-disperse surface monolayer. The initial crystal Ni-Pd core-shell structure transforms to the core of a non-crystalline Pd-rich solid solution with quite strongly developed icosahedral short-range order, which is covered by a surface–sandwich shell, where Ni atoms are located in the centres of interpenetrating icosahedra of a subsurface Kagomé net layer while the Pd atoms occupy the vertices of the icosahedra and cover this Ni layer from inside and outside. We demonstrate that under certain conditions a surface–sandwich segregation phenomenon at the nanoscale can be observed in systems with completely different phase diagrams in the bulk states: in systems displaying the extremely low mutual solubility as in the Ag-Ni system, or in systems exhibiting a continuous mutual solid solubility like the Pd-Ni system.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties of Si/Ge core-shell nanowires under a unixial tension are studied using molecular-dynamics simulation. The effects of anisotropy and the fraction of the core atoms on the Young's moduli of the core-shell nanowires are examined. The values of their Young's moduli deviate from those calculated using Vegard's law. Single atom chains are formed at the final stages of elongation of the nanowires.
