Nanoparticle shapes by using Wulff constructions and first-principles calculations
BACKGROUND The majority of complex and advanced materials contain nanoparticles. The properties of these materials depend crucially on the size and shape of these nanoparticles. Wulff construction offers a simple method of predicting the equilibrium shape of nanoparticles given the surface energies of the material. RESULTS We review the mathematical formulation and the main applications of Wu...
متن کاملFirst Principles Calculations
Calculations of the linestrengths and transition frequencies of the forbidden pure rotational spectrum of Hz in the vibrationally excited v2 state are presented. These transitions occur in the far-infrared region, and their observation may be complicated by vi u2 difference transitions. Examples of these are also given. Forbidden rovibrational transition frequencies and linestrengths have also ...
متن کاملA necklace of Wulff shapes
Abstract: In a probabilistic model of a film over a disordered substrate, Monte-Carlo simulations show that the film hangs from peaks of the substrate. The film profile is well approximated by a necklace of Wulff shapes. Such a necklace can be obtained as the infimum of a collection of Wulff shapes resting on the substrate. When the random substrate is given by iid heights with exponential dist...
متن کاملParticle Size Effects on Wulff Constructions
The equilibrium structure of small particles is analysed by minimising the total surface energy of atomistic clusters. Large deviations from the bulk Wulff construction are identified for fairly large ( 10 nm) particles due to sphere packing corrections. These act as additional edge terms which can be si~i~cantly larger than the true edge terms. For a simplifi~ fee model, it is shown that the f...
متن کاملProbing hydrogen interactions with amorphous metals using first-principles calculations.
Amorphous metals are interesting candidates for use as H(2) purification membranes and occur in some applications of H(2) storage. We introduce a general strategy combining density functional theory and statistical mechanics for quantitatively predicting the properties of interstitial H in amorphous metals. We systematically investigate H solubility in amorphous Fe(3)B, comparing our results wi...
