New Ce3+–O and Ce4+–O parameters for a force-field based on the core–shell model were developed and applied to get insights into the structure of five silicophosphate glasses with increasing Ce2O3 and P2O5 content.

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.

Nanowires (NWs) have been used increasingly in practice due to their outstanding mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In this paper, we use the molecular dynamics (MD) method to investigate the mechanical properties of NWs (Si/Ge, Ge/Si) with a core-shell structure under the axial tensile strain along the <100>/{100} direction. Our results show that the strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si and Si/Ge NWs depend on the composition and size of the core/shell crosssection. The strength and strain of Ge/Si NW decrease with increasing the size of the core crosssection because of the lattice mismatch between two layers of core/shell materials. The elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs increases with the increasing the size of the core cross-section, while the elastic modulus of the Si/Ge NW decreases. In addition, the theoretical strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs reduce with the growth of the temperature. Furthermore, we also investigate the effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the Ge/Si NWs. The obtained results of the study provide the intrinsic properties of the core-shell NWs and also help in the design and fabrication of electronic and optical devices based on the Ge/Si NWs.
