The metallic glasses, which exist in a very wide variety of compositions, combine fundamental interest with practical applications.

        Abstract = {Glasses are disordered materials that lack the periodicity of crystals but behave mechanically like solids. The most common way of making a glass is by cooling a viscous liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization. Although this route to the vitreous state - supercooling - has been known for millennia, the molecular processes by which liquids acquire amorphous rigidity upon cooling are not fully understood. Here we discuss current theoretical knowledge of the manner in which intermolecular forces give rise to complex behaviour in supercooled liquids and glasses. An intriguing aspect of this behaviour is the apparent connection between dynamics and thermodynamics. The multidimensional potential energy surface as a function of particle coordinates (the energy landscape) offers a convenient viewpoint for the analysis and interpretation of supercooling and glass-formation phenomena. That much of this analysis is at present largely qualitative reflects the fact that precise computations of how viscous liquids sample their landscape have become possible only recently.},

The structures, cohesive energies, and lattice contractions of spherical Ag nanoclusters in the size range 0.5-5.5 nm are analyzed using two different theoretical approaches: an ab initio density functional pseudopotential technique combined with the generalized gradient approximation and the embedded atom method. The surface energies and stresses obtained via the embedded atom method are found to be in good agreement with those predicted by the gradient-corrected ab initio density functional formalism. We estimate the surface energy of Ag nanoclusters to be in the range of 1.0-2.2 J/m(2). Our values are close to the bulk surface energy of silver, but are significantly lower than the recently reported value of 7.2 J/m(2) for free Ag nanoparticles derived from the Kelvin equation.},

        Abstract = {The surface structures of cubo-octahedral Pt-Mo nanoparticles have been investigated using the Monte Carlo method and modified embedded atom method potentials that we developed for Pt-Mo alloys. The cubo-octahedral Pt-Mo nanoparticles are constructed with disordered fcc configurations, with sizes from 2.5 to 5.0 nm, and with Pt concentrations from 60 to 90 atom \%. The equilibrium Pt-Mo nanoparticle configurations were generated through Monte Carlo simulations allowing both atomic displacements and element exchanges at 600 K. We predict that the Pt atoms weakly segregate to the surfaces of such nanoparticles. The Pt concentrations in the surface are calculated to be 5-14 atom \% higher than the Pt concentrations of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the Pt atoms preferentially segregate to the facet sites of the surface, while the Pt and Mo atoms tend to alternate along the edges and vertexes of these nanoparticles. We found that decreasing the size or increasing the Pt concentration leads to higher Pt concentrations but fewer Pt-Mo pairs in the Pt-Mo nanoparticle surfaces.},

The semi-empirical, many-body Sutton-Chen (SC) potential was used to model the interatomic interaction in the metallic system. Regions of core or bulk-like atoms and surface atoms can be defined from analyses of structures, atomic coordination, and the local density function of atoms as defined in the SC potential. The core atoms in the nanoparticle behave as bulk-like metal atoms with a predominant face centered cubic (fcc) packing. The interface between surface atoms and core atoms is marked by a peak in the local density function and corresponds to near surface atoms. The near surface atoms and surface atoms prefer a hexagonal closed packing (hcp). The temperature and size effects on structures of the nanoparticle and the dynamics of the surface region and the core region are discussed.},

@article{Sankaranarayanan:2005lr,
        Abstract = {Bimetallic nanoclusters are of interest because of their utility in catalysis and sensors, The thermal characteristics of bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoclusters of different sizes and compositions were investigated through molecular dynamics simulations using quantum Sutton-Chen (QSC) many-body potentials, Monte Carlo simulations employing the bond order simulation model were used to generate minimum energy configurations, which were utilized as the starting point for molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated initial configurations of the Pt-Pd system consisted of surface segregated Pd atoms and a Pt-rich core, Melting characteristics were studied by following the changes in potential energy and heat capacity as functions of temperature, Structural changes accompanying the thermal evolution were studied by the bond order parameter method. The Pt-Pd clusters exhibited a two-stage melting: surface melting of the external Pd atoms followed by homogeneous melting of the Pt core. These transitions were found to depend on the composition and size of the nanocluster. Melting temperatures of the nanoclusters were found to be much lower than those of bulk Pt and Pd. Bulk melting temperatures of Pd and Pt simulated using periodic boundary conditions compare well with experimental values, thus providing justification for the use of QSC potentials in these simulations. Deformation parameters were calculated to characterize the structural evolution resulting from diffusion of Pd and Pt atoms, The results indicate that in Pd-Pt clusters, Pd atoms prefer to remain at the surface even after melting. In addition, Pt also tends to diffuse to the surface after melting due to reduction of its surface energy with temperature. This mixing pattern is different from those reported in some of the earlier Studies on melting of bimetallics.},

@article{JACKSON:1991lr,
        Abstract = {The glass-transition temperatures, T(g), of organic liquids confined to small pores were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).  The T(g) was measured as a function of pore size in controlled pore glasses (CPG) having pore diameters in the range of 40-730 angstrom.  The surface of the glass was treated with hexamethyldisilazane to promote wetting by the organic liquids studied (o-terphenyl and benzyl alcohol).  Glasses formed in the pores had a lower T(g) than in the bulk and the reduction in T(g) increased as the pore size decreased.  For example, the depression of the glass transition temperature, DELTA-T(g), of benzyl alcohol in 40 angstrom and 85 angstrom pores was 7.2 K and 3.1 K, respectively.  The magnitude of DELTA-T(g) also depends on the material; e.g. for o-terphenyl in the 85 angstrom pores, DELTA-T(g) was 8.8 K versus 3.1 K for benzyl alcohol.  In general, it was noted that DELTA-T(g) was considerably less than for the depression of the crystalline melting point, DELTA-T(m), studied in related work.  For example, for benzyl alcohol in the 85 angstrom pores, DELTA-T(m) was approximately 25 K and DELTA-T(g) was approximately 3 K.},

Instead of the disordered system of atoms we considered the congruent disordered system of interconnecting bonds. The Gibbs free energy of network-breaking defects (configurons) was found based on available viscosity data. Amorphous silica and germania were used as reference disordered systems for which we found an excellent agreement of calculated and measured glass transition temperatures. We reveal that the Hausdorff dimension of the system of bonds changes from Euclidian three-dimensional below to fractal 2.55 +/- 0.05-dimensional geometry above the glass transition temperature.},

        Abstract = {In this article, the effects of size and confinement at the nanometre size scale on both the melting temperature, T-m, and the glass transition temperature, T-g, are reviewed. Although there is an accepted thermodynamic model (the Gibbs-Thomson equation) for explaining the shift in the first-order transition, T-m, for confined materials, the depression of the melting point is still not fully understood and clearly requires further investigation. However, the main thrust of the work is a review of the field of confinement and size effects on the glass transition temperature. We present in detail the dynamic, thermodynamic and pseudo-thermodynamic measurements reported for the glass transition in confined geometries for both small molecules confined in nanopores and for ultrathin polymer films. We survey the observations that show that the glass transition temperature decreases, increases, remains the same or even disappears depending upon details of the experimental (or molecular simulation) conditions. Indeed, different behaviours have been observed for the same material depending on the experimental methods used. It seems that the existing theories of T-g are unable to explain the range of behaviours seen at the nanometre size scale, in part because the glass transition phenomenon itself is not fully understood. Importantly, here we conclude that the vast majority of the experiments have been carried out carefully and the results are reproducible. What is currently lacking appears to be an overall view, which accounts for the range of observations. The field seems to be experimentally and empirically driven rather than responding to major theoretical developments.},

Such an expression implies that a ''blocking'' (slower than average) rate is responsible for the macroscopic relaxation time. This concept has recently been shown to account for a large number off phenomena related to the glass transition. Here it is shown that the average of a glass transition temperature over a large number of very small systems must correspond to an average barrier height; consequently the average glass temperature is reduced by confinement in pores because the average barrier height is smaller than the ''blocking'' barrier.},

        Abstract = {The lattice expansion and relaxation of noble-metal nanoparticles heated by intense femtosecond laser pulses are measured by pump-probe time-resolved X-ray scattering. Following the laser pulse, shape and angular shift of the (111) Bragg reflection from crystalline silver and gold particles with diameters from 20 to 100 nm are resolved stroboscopically using 100 ps X-ray pulses from a synchrotron. We observe a transient lattice expansion that corresponds to a laser-induced temperature rise of up to 200 K, and a subsequent lattice relaxation. The relaxation occurs within several hundred picoseconds for embedded silver particles, and several nanoseconds for supported free gold particles. The relaxation time shows a strong dependence on particle size. The relaxation rate appears to be limited by the thermal coupling of the particles to the matrix and substrate, respectively, rather than by bulk thermal diffusion. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction can resolve the internal strain state of the nanoparticles to separate non-thermal from thermal motion of the lattice.},

        Abstract = {Gold nanoparticles have been adsorbed as monolayers on silicon and glass substrates and the structure evolution following femtosecond laser excitation has been analyzed by means of time resolved X-ray scattering. The synchronization of the laser to the X-ray pulse structure emitted from a third generation synchrotron source allows to obtain a natural time resolution of 100 ps for the lattice kinetics. The prospects of using a picosecond X-ray streak camera are explored. The lattice kinetics are dominated by the fast heating of the particle lattice and nanosecond cooling times. However, the analysis of peak shapes reveals the presence of nonthermal motion within the lattice. Unexpectedly large relaxation times for the thermalization of vibrational modes are found and are attributed to the weak mechanical coupling to the substrate. Strong nonuniform strain develops within the domain of electron-phonon interaction time regime after the laser excitation as seen with the X-ray streak camera. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

The vibrational periods depend on the size. shape, and elastic constants of the particles. Thus, time-resolved spectroscopy can be used to examine the material properties of nanometer-sized objects. This review provides a brief overview of the steady-state and time-resolved electronic spectroscopy of metal particles, which is important for understanding why vibrational motion appears in transient absorption traces. I also describe how the vibrational modes observed in the experiments are assigned. and what information can be obtained from the measurements. Our work has been mainly concerned with noble metal particles (gold and silver) in aqueous solution. The different shapes that have been examined to date include spheres, rods, and triangles, all with different sizes.},

Subpicosecond lambda=770 nm optical pulses from a Ti:sapphire mode-locked laser are used to heat the particles and interrogate the decay of their temperature through time-resolved changes in optical absorption. The thermal decay of alkanethiol-terminated Au nanoparticles in toluene is partially obscured by other effects; we set a lower limit G>20 MW m(-2)K(-1). The thermal decay of citrate-stabilized Pt nanoparticles in water gives Gapproximate to130 MW m(-2) K-1. AuPd alloy nanoparticles in toluene and stabilized by alkanethiol termination give Gapproximate to5 MW m(-2) K-1. The measured G are within a factor of 2 of theoretical estimates based on the diffuse-mismatch model.},

@article{Dick:2002qy,
        Abstract = {We report on the size dependence of the melting temperature of silica-encapsulated gold nanoparticles. The melting point was determined using differential thermal analysis (DTA) coupled to thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The small gold particles, with sizes ranging from 1.5 to 20 nm, were synthesized using radiolytic and chemical reduction procedures and then coated with porous silica shells to isolate the particles from one another. The resulting silica-encapsulated gold particles show clear melting endotherms in the DTA scan with no accompanying weight loss of the material in the TGA examination. The silica shell acts as a nanocrucible for the melting gold with little effect on the melting temperature itself, even though the analytical procedure destroys the particles once they melt. Phenomenological thermodynamic predictions of the size dependence of the melting point of gold agree with the experimental observation. Implications of these observations to the self-diffusion coefficient of gold in the nanoparticles are discussed, especially as they relate to the spontaneous alloying of core-shell bimetallic particles.},

        Abstract = {It is proposed that the splitting of the second peak of the total static structure factor, S(k), of many metallic glasses is essentially the same feature as the indentation at k{$[$}sigma{$]$} = (9/2){$[$}pi{$]$} in the function (sin k {$[$}sigma{$]$} + {$[$}alpha{$]$}-1 sin k{$[$}alpha{$]$}{$[$}sigma{$]$}), caused by the coincidence of the fourth minimum of the second term with the third maximum of the first term when {$[$}alpha{$]$} {$[$}approximate{$]$} 5/3. Together with the strong-weak relation of the split peak components of S(k), this feature indicates the splitting to be direct evidence for face-sharing of regular tetrahedra ({$[$}alpha{$]$} = 2{$[$}square root{$]$}2/3) dominating the topological short range order; increasing the number of face-sharing tetrahedra in local structural units indeed increases the amount of peak splitting in S(k); a dense random packing of well defined identical structural units (DRPSU), with neighbouring units linked together by a shared icosahedron, is described in detail. The packing fraction in a homogeneous, isotropic 1078-atom model is 0.67, after static relaxation under a two-body Lennard-Jones potential.},

        Abstract = {Volume measurements are useful in many branches of science and medicine. They are usually accomplished by acquiring a sequence of cross sectional images through the object using an appropriate scanning modality, for example x-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) or ultrasound (US). In the cases of CT and MR, a dividing cubes algorithm can be used to describe the surface as a triangle mesh. However, such algorithms are not suitable for US data, especially when the image sequence is multiplanar (as it usually is). This problem may be overcome by manually tracing regions of interest (ROIs) on the registered multiplanar images and connecting the points into a trianglar mesh. In this paper we describe and evaluate a new discreet form of Gauss' theorem which enables the calculation of the volume of any enclosed surface described by a triangular mesh. The volume is calculated by summing the vector product of the centroid, area and normal of each surface triangle. The algorithm was tested on computer-generated objects, US-scanned balloons, livers and kidneys and CT-scanned clay rocks. The results, expressed as the mean percentage difference one standard deviation were , , and \% for balloons, livers, kidneys and rocks respectively. The results compare favourably with other volume estimation methods such as planimetry and tetrahedral decomposition.},

        Abstract = {Colloidal silver sols of long-time stability are formed in the gamma-irradiation of 1.0 x 10(-4) M AgClO4 solutions, which also contain 0.3 M 2-propanol, 2.5 x 10(-2) M N2O, and sodium citrate in various concentrations. The reduction of Ag+ in these solutions is brought about by the I-hydroxyalkyl radical generated in the radiolysis of 2-propanol; citrate does not act as a reductant but solely as a stabilizer of the colloidal particles formed. Its concentration is varied in the range from 5.0 x 10(-5) to 1.5 x 10(-3) M, and the size and size distribution of the silver particles are studied by electron microscopy. At low citrate concentration, partly agglomerated large particles are formed that have many imperfections. In an intermediate range (a few 10(-4) M), well-separated particles with a rather narrow size distribution and little imperfections are formed, the size slightly decreasing with increasing citrate concentration. At high citrate concentrations, large lumps of coalesced silver particles are present, due to destabilization by the high ionic strength of the solution. These findings are explained by two growth mechanisms: condensation of small silver clusters (type-I growth), and reduction of Ag+ on silver particles via radical-to-particle electron transfer (type-II growth). The particles formed in the intermediate range of citrate concentration were studied by high-resolution electron microscopy and computer simulations. They constitute icosahedra and cuboctahedra.},

The plasmon resonance has also had a great impact on the Raman spectrum of surface-adsorbed molecules and a large enhancement of the fluorescence quantum yield of gold nanorods is observed.

        Abstract = {Laser excitation of metal nanoparticles can provide enough energy to melt or even fragment the particles. In this article we describe some recent experiments where controlled laser excitation was used to transform core-shell bimetallic particles into the corresponding alloy. Results for Au-Ag particles in solution and in a thin film are presented. Details are given about the excitation energies needed for alloying and how interdiffusion and alloying occur in nanoparticles. The spectral and dynamical properties of bimetallic particles are also discussed - especially as they pertain to our experiments.},

        Abstract = {This paper describes our recent time-resolved spectroscopy studies of the properties of gold particles at high laser excitation levels. In these experiments, an intense pump laser pulse rapidly heats the particle, creating very high lattice temperatures - up to the melting point of bulk gold. These high temperatures can have dramatic effects on the particle and the surroundings. The lattice temperature created is determined by observing the coherently excited the vibrational modes of the particles. The periods of these modes depend on temperature, thus, they act as an internal thermometer. We have used these experiments to provide values for the threshold temperatures for explosive boiling of the solvent surrounding the particles, and laser induced structural transformations in non-spherical particles. The results of these experiments are relevant to the use of metal nanoparticles in photothermal therapy, where laser induced heating is used to selectively kill cells.},

From the simulation results, at temperatures higher than the melting point, the nanoparticles are in a liquid state and an icosahedral local structure is most frequently found inside the nanoparticles. At temperatures beneath the melting point, the fraction of FCC local structure increases with decreasing concentrations of the larger size atoms, whereas a larger fraction of amorphous structure still remains in the solid state for higher concentrations of oversized atoms. This is because the effects of distortion and misfit are more significant for a nanoparticle having a higher concentration of oversized atoms. },

The `anomalous' outward relaxation at Al (100), (111), Pt (111), and Cu (111) surfaces is described correctly. The relief of surface stress and tension on the relaxation is studied on (111), (100) and (110) surfaces. In general, the surface stress in the direction of the surface normal determines the relaxation direction except for the Al (110) surface. When the surface stress is negative, the surface relaxation is inward; otherwise, the relaxation is outward. An interesting result is that the surface tension does not always decrease after relaxation. The outward relaxation will induce the increase in surface tension while the inward relaxation induces the decrease in surface tension. },

We found, however, that some liquid alloys, which have large difference of the surface tension of pure components, show positive temperature dependence in certain composition ranges. Some Pb-free alloys, for which information on the surface tension is indispensable to be developed as environmental-friendly material, can be listed in this special category. The experimental results and the thermodynamic analysis of the temperature dependence of those alloys are discussed in the paper. },

        Abstract = {Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to investigate the effect of the nanocluster size on surface segregation phenomena of Pt alloys containing 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90{\%} Pd. Atomic distribution is examined in graphite-supported nanoclusters with approximate diameters of 2 and 4 nm, using a simulated annealing procedure with temperatures varying from 1200 down to 353 K. Following this annealing route, it is found that at concentrations of Pd below a certain threshold, Pt segregates to the surface, whereas Pd segregates to the surface when the overall concentration of Pd is above that threshold. Moreover, the threshold concentration depends on the size, being approximately 50{\%} for the 2 nm nanocluster and in the order of 60{\%} for the 4 nm nanocluster. It is also found that the percent of the surface enriched either in Pt or Pd at a given overall concentration, as well as the nature of the exposed crystallographic faces, depend significantly on the cluster size. Our studies suggest that surface segregation behavior in Pt{\^a}Pd supported nanoclusters is influenced by: differences in surface energies, interaction of the clusters with the substrate, and probably most importantly by the fabrication protocol. The implications of these issues on catalytic processes are discussed.

        Abstract = {We explore, with the use of extensive molecular dynamics simulations, several principal issues pertaining to the energetics of formation of superlattices made through the assembly of passivated nanoclusters, the interactions that underlie the cohesion of such superlattices, and the unique mechanical, thermal and structural properties that they exhibit. Our investigations focus on assemblies made of crystalline gold nanoclusters of variable sizes, passivated by monolayers of alkylthiol molecules. An analytic optimal packing model that correlates in a unified manner several structural characteristics of three-dimensional superlattice assemblies is developed. The model successfully organizes and systematizes a large amount of experimental and simulation data, and it predicts the phase-boundary between different superlattice structural motifs that evolve as a function of the ratio between the chain-length of the extended passivating molecules and the radius of the underlying gold nanocluster. The entropic contribution to the formation free energy of the superlattice assembly is found to be large and of similar magnitude as the potential energy component of the free energy. The major contribution to the cohesive potential energy of the superlattice is shown to originate from van der Waals interactions between molecules that passivate neighboring nanoclusters. The unique mechanical, thermal, thermomechanical, and thermostructural properties of passivated nanocluster assemblies, are discussed.},

        Abstract = {The thermal conductivity of diatomic liquids was analyzed using a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) method. Five liquids, namely, O2, CO, CS2, Cl2 and Br2, were assumed. The two-center Lennard-Jones (2CLJ) model was used to express the intermolecular potential acting on liquid molecules. First, the equation of state of each liquid was obtained using MD simulation, and the critical temperature, density and pressure of each liquid were determined. Heat conduction of each liquid at various liquid states {$[$}metastable ({$[$}rho{$]$}=1.9{$[$}rho{$]$}cr), saturated ({$[$}rho{$]$}=2.1{$[$}rho{$]$}cr), and stable ({$[$}rho{$]$}=2.3{$[$}rho{$]$}cr){$]$} at T=0.7Tcr was simulated and the thermal conductivity was estimated. These values were compared with experimental results and it was confirmed that the simulated results were consistent with the experimental data within 10{\%}. Obtained thermal conductivities at saturated state were reduced by the critical temperature, density and mass of molecules and these values were compared with each other. It was found that the reduced thermal conductivity increased with the increase in the molecular elongation. Detailed analysis of the molecular contribution to the thermal conductivity revealed that the contribution of the heat flux caused by energy transport and by translational energy transfer to the thermal conductivity is independent of the molecular elongation while the contribution of the heat flux caused by rotational energy transfer to the thermal conductivity increases with the increase in the molecular elongation. Moreover, by comparing the reduced thermal conductivity at various states, it was found that the increase of thermal conductivity with the increase in the density, or pressure, was caused by the increase of the contribution of energy transfer due to molecular interaction.},

        Abstract = {After a brief introduction to the dynamics of supercooled liquids, we discuss some of the advantages and drawbacks of computer simulations of such systems. Subsequently we present the results of computer simulations in which the dynamics of a fragile glass former, a binary Lennard-Jones system, is compared to that of a strong glass former, SiO$_{2}$. This comparison gives evidence that the reason for the different temperature dependences of these two types of glass former lies in the transport mechanism for the particles in the vicinity of T$_{c}$, the critical temperature of mode-coupling theory. Whereas that for the fragile glass former is described very well by the ideal version of mode-coupling theory, that for the strong glass former is dominated by activated processes. In the last part of the article we review some simulations of glass formers in which the dynamics below the glass transition temperature was investigated. We show that such simulations might help to establish a connection between systems with self-generated disorder (e.g. structural glasses) and quenched disorder (e.g. spin glasses). },

@article{Ma:2005fk,
        Abstract = {The development and understanding of alloys is one of the most important themes of physical metallurgy. Over the past four decades, the progress in modern processing techniques has enabled researchers to artificially create an increasing number of new alloys in systems that are immiscible in thermodynamic equilibrium. This possibility of alloying elements between which no alloys exist in nature offers exciting opportunities for many physics, chemistry, and materials science endeavors. One of the obvious questions that needs to be answered is exactly what kind of alloys have been, and can be, obtained in these systems with positive heat of mixing, in terms of the uniformity, the presence of short-to-medium range chemical and topological order/clustering, and the energy state of the new alloy phases. This issue was not adequately addressed before because, until recent years, simple diffraction measurements constituted the main method for the characterization of the alloys produced. In this article, we survey the alloys created in binary systems with positive heat of mixing. Our emphasis is on a systematic examination of the atomic-level structure, and calorimetric determination of the positive enthalpy of mixing, of several model binary alloys created between immiscible elements, covering both amorphous and crystalline solid solutions. Vapor-deposited alloys will be our primary focus, but alloys prepared via other processing routes or modeled in computer simulations will also be discussed. The experimental characterization results recently obtained using local environment probes will be reviewed, together with the insight gained through computer atomistic simulations. The local structures uncovered will be correlated directly with the thermodynamic properties. A full account of the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the phase selection and the details of the transformation mechanisms involved, on the other hand, is a much broader subject to be dealt with in a separate review.},

        Abstract = {A compilation and an implementation of different methodologies to simulate NPT ensembles on finite systems is presented. In general, the methods discussed can be classified in two different groups depending on how the external pressure is applied to the system. The first approach is based on including the pressure with its conjugate thermodynamical variable, the volume, in the Lagrangian of the system. For this group four different volume definitions were considered and we assess their validity by studying the structural properties of small systems as function of pressure. In particular, we focus on the stability of the C60 molecule as well as the amorphization process of a diamond-like cluster under pressure. In the second group, the finite system (C60) is embedded in a classical fluid which serves as a pressure reservoir. We take the latter method as reference because it is closest to the experimental situation. The difficulties and the regimes where these methods can be used are also discussed.},

        Abstract = {We report a classical molecular dynamics isothermal\&ndash;isobaric ensemble ( NPT ) implementation for the simulation of pressure effects on finite systems. The method is based on calculating the enclosed surface area by means of the Delauney triangulation method, which results in a fairly accurate description of the surface and the system volume. The external pressure is applied to the system by external forces acting on the triangulated surface covering the nanostructure. Pressure is exerted perpendicularly to every one of the Delauney triangles, by equally distributing the force to every corner of a triangle. We applied the method to finite single wall capped carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with different chiralities and different tube lengths ranging from 4~nm up to 30~nm. Pressure effects are studied as a function of the radii and the nanotube length, as well as as a function of temperature. Our results are in very good agreement when compared with both experimental and other theoretical results. },

        Abstract = {Thermodynamic and structural properties of supercooled nanoclusters are of considerable interest. A numerical study of a gold nanocluster with 2112 atoms based on molecular dynamics simulation demonstrates how the cooling conditions affect the microstructures of nanoclusters. Structural parameters like pair correlation function, pair analysis and bond orientation-order parameters are used to investigate the structure transition of an Au nanocluster. The result shows that an Au nanocluster will evolve into a different microstructure under different cooling processes. At a cooling rate of 1.5625 $\times$ 10$^{13}$\&thinsp;K\&thinsp;s$^{\&minus;1}$, the nanocluster forms an amorphous type structure. At a lower cooling rate of 1.5625 $\times$ 10$^{12}$\&thinsp;K\&thinsp;s$^{\&minus;1}$, the system transforms from a supercooled liquid into a crystal-like structure. By looking into the bonded pairs within the cluster, the rearrangement of the Au nanocluster should be responsible for the structural evolution. },

@article{BenjaminGilbert07302004,
        Abstract = {Nanoparticles may contain unusual forms of structural disorder that can substantially modify materials properties and thus cannot solely be considered as small pieces of bulk material. We have developed a method to quantify intermediate-range order in 3.4-nanometer-diameter zinc sulfide nanoparticles and show that structural coherence is lost over distances beyond 2nanometers. The zinc-sulfur Einstein vibration frequency in the nanoparticles is substantially higher than that in the bulk zinc sulfide, implying structural stiffening. This cannot be explained by the observed 1% radial compression and must be primarily due to inhomogeneous internal strain caused by competing relaxations from an irregular surface. The methods developed here are generally applicable to the characterization of nanoscale solids, many of which may exhibit complex disorder and strain.

Adsorption energy, surface structure, corrugation, and the orientational anisotropy of the interaction can be varied. The model is used to determine the dependence of the water/metal interfacial structure as a function of the adsorption energy. Adsorption of an iodide ion from the solution onto the surface is studied for two different water adsorption energies. The results confirm the interpretations of previous simulations, namely that the repulsive solvent contribution to the free energy of iodide adsorption is mostly due to the steric displacement of adsorbed water molecules.},
