Abstract Among nanoalloys, Co–Pt type (CoPt or FePt) supported nanostructures are very
interesting systems due to the direct link between atom arrangement and magnetic behavior …

The evolution towards equilibrium of AuCo, AgNi and AgCu nanoparticles is studied by
molecular dynamics simulations. Nanoparticle sizes of about 2.5 nm are considered, in the …

The growth of colloidal nanoparticles is simultaneously driven by kinetic and thermodynamic
effects that are difficult to distinguish. We have exploited in situ scanning transmission …

The field of nanoscience has undergone tremendous growth in the past decade as the
number of applications of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials have proliferated …

The growth of Ag clusters on amorphous carbon substrates is studied in situ by X-ray
scattering experiments, whose final outcome is imaged by electron microscopy. The real …

The atomic configuration of nanoparticles is key to their properties, in a way that resembles
the structure–function correlation of biomolecules, and depends on the growth mechanism …

The atomic structure of CoPt and FePt nanoparticles (with a diameter between 2 and 5 nm)
has been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The particles have been produced …

Monte Carlo simulations within a tight-binding Ising model (TBIM) have been performed on
bulk, surfaces, and nanoclusters of Co 1-c-Pt c alloys in order to describe and understand …

As atomic structure and morphology of particles are directly correlated to their functional
properties, experimental methods probing local and average features of particles at the …

CoPt nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by sol-gel route from metal chloride precursors.
NPs annealed at 800° C under hydrogen atmosphere which reveals the formation of …
