the stresses and their relaxation in nanoparticles are of significant importance and far from
being resolved. It is not surprising that there are several approaches with different and, in the
given case, opposite assumptions. Thus, in ref 1, surface tension is neglected, and
volumetric strain due to oxidation is introduced in the oxide shell. It is stated that for linear
lattice mismatch α≥ 0.3 large tensile stresses in a metal core are sufficient for void …
