Shell-driven Fine Structure Transition of Core Materials in Co@Au Core-shell Nanoparticles

Core/shell magnetism in NiO nanoparticles

Modelling exchange bias in core/shell nanoparticles.

We present an atomistic model of a single nanoparticle with core/shell structure that takes into account its lattice structure and spherical geometry, and in which the values of microscopic parameters such as anisotropy and exchange constants can be tuned in the core, shell and interfacial regions. By means of Monte Carlo simulations of the hysteresis loops based on this model, we have determin...

Bias in Fe @ Cr Core - Shell Nanoparticles

We have used X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) and magnetometry to study isolated Fe@Cr core-shell nanoparticles with an Fe core diameter of 2.7 nm (850 atoms) and a Cr shell thickness varying between 1 and 2 monolayers. The addition of Cr shells significantly reduces the spin moment but does not change the orbital moment. At least two Cr atomic layers are required to stabilize a ferroma...

Optical Limiting Characteristics of Core-Shell Nanoparticles

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method at 180 ̊C from TiOSO4 aqueous solution with1m/l concentration. The obtained products were coated with silica by means of a seeded polymerization technique for a coating time of 1440 minutes to obtain well defined TiO2@SiO2 core-shell structure. The uncoated and coated nanoparticles were characterized by using X-Ray diffraction technique ...

Facile electrochemical characterization of core/shell nanoparticles. Ag core/Ag(2)O shell structures.

We report in this paper a facile approach for the formation and electrochemical characterization of silver-silver oxide core-shell nanoparticles (NPs). Thus, thermal treatment at temperatures between 200 and 360 degrees C of Ag NP, in the gas phase or in an organic solvent, has been used to achieve the formation Ag@Ag2O NP. The evidence of formation of such a core-shell structure was obtained b...
