The structural properties of free nanoclusters are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the
interplay of energetic, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors in the explanation of cluster …

Nanoparticles are a state of matter that has properties different from either molecules or bulk
solids. In the present work, we review the shape and structure of nanometer-sized particles; …

The parameters of many-body potentials for fcc and hcp transition metals, based on the
second-moment approximation of a tight-binding Hamiltonian, have been systematically …

A semi-empirical model to simulate thermodynamic properties of fcc transition metals is
proposed. The attractive energy is derived within a second-moment approximation of the …

We have constructed an embedded-atom potential for Fe by fitting to both experimental and
first-principles results. The potential reproduces with satisfactory accuracy the lattice …

Nanoscale research has been an area of active research over the past fifteen years. This is
due to the overall enhanced properties of nanomaterials due to size effects, surface effects …

We propose an extended Finnis–Sinclair (FS) potential by extending the repulsive term into
a sextic polynomial for enhancing the repulsive interaction and adding a quartic term to …

This review attempts to present first a brief summary of the up-to-date experimental studies
on amorphization transition, which results in the formation of amorphous alloys or metallic …

Although tremendous applications for metal nanoparticles have been found in modern
technologies, the understanding of their stability as related to morphology (size and shape) …

Surface segregation in alloys, ie, concentration modulation in the surface selvedge at
thermodynamical equilibrium, can be viewed as resulting from two kinds of competition or …
