AuCu3熔体快速冷却过程中的键对与多面体

Based on the FS(Finnis-Sinclair) many-body potential model, the rapid cooling process of a system, which consists of 375 Cu atoms and 125 Au atoms, controlled by period boundary condition was simulated. The dependence of pair distribution function of melten compound AuCu3 on the temperature under these conditions was researched. It can be concluded that the noncrystal exists under 700 K, and the liquid-glass transition temperature is approximately 680 K according to the Abraham′s method. Furthermore, the feature of version of cluster in melten AuCu3 was investigated by Honeycutt pair analysis technique. It is demonstrated that the structural configuration in melten AuCu3 has remarkable variation during the formation of noncrystal according to the relationship between the bonded pairs and polyhedron and temperatures. The defective polyhedra in liquid AuCu3 have greatest changes accompanying the changing temperatures.     

Synthesis of atomically ordered AuCu and AuCu(3) nanocrystals from bimetallic nanoparticle precursors

A new multistep approach was developed to synthesize atomically ordered intermetallic nanocrystals, using AuCu and AuCu(3) as model systems. Bimetallic nanoparticle aggregates are used as precursors to atomically ordered nanocrystals, both to precisely define the stoichiometry of the final product and to ensure that atomic-scale diffusion distances lower the reaction temperatures to prevent sintering. In a typical synthesis, PVP-stabilized Au-Cu nanoparticle aggregates synthesized by borohydride reduction are collected by centrifugation and annealed in powder form. At temperatures below 175 degrees C, diffusion of Cu into Au occurs, and the atomically disordered solid solution Cu(x)Au(1)(-)(x) exists. For AuCu, nucleation occurs by 200 degrees C, and atomically ordered AuCu exists between 200 and 400 degrees C. For AuCu(3), an AuCu intermediate nucleates at 200 degrees C, and further diffusion of Cu into the AuCu intermediate at 300 degrees C nucleates AuCu(3). Atomically ordered AuCu and AuCu(3) nanocrystals can be redispersed as discrete colloids in solution after annealing between 200 and 300 degrees C.     

Metallurgy in a beaker: nanoparticle toolkit for the rapid low-temperature solution synthesis of functional multimetallic solid-state materials

Intermetallic compounds and alloys are traditionally synthesized by heating mixtures of metal powders to high temperatures for long periods of time. A low-temperature solution-based alternative has been developed, and this strategy exploits the enhanced reactivity of nanoparticles and the nanometer diffusion distances afforded by binary nanocomposite precursors. Prereduced metal nanoparticles are combined in known ratios, and they form nanomodulated composites that rapidly transform into intermetallics and alloys upon heating at low temperatures. The approach is general in terms of accessible compositions, structures, and morphologies. Multiple compounds in the same binary system can be readily accessed; e.g., AuCu, AuCu3, Au3Cu, and the AuCu-II superlattice are all accessible in the Au-Cu system. This concept can be extended to other binary systems, including the intermetallics FePt3, CoPt, CuPt, and Cu3Pt and the alloys Ag-Pt, Au-Pd, and Ni-Pt. The ternary intermetallic Ag2Pd3S can also be rapidly synthesized at low temperatures from a nanocomposite precursor comprised of Ag2S and Pd nanoparticles. Using this low-temperature solution-based approach, a variety of morphologically diverse nanomaterials are accessible: surface-confined thin films (planar and nonplanar supports), free-standing monoliths, nanomesh materials, inverse opals, and dense gram-scale nanocrystalline powders of intermetallic AuCu. Importantly, the multimetallic materials synthesized using this approach are functional, yielding a room-temperature Fe-Pt ferromagnet, a superconducting sample of Ag2Pd3S (Tc = 1.10 K), and a AuPd4 alloy that selectively catalyzes the formation of H2O2 from H2 and O2. Such flexibility in the synthesis and processing of functional intermetallic and alloy materials is unprecedented.     

Reacting the unreactive: a toolbox of low-temperature solution-mediated reactions for the facile interconversion of nanocrystalline intermetallic compounds

Metallurgical materials, including intermetallic compounds, are notoriously inert toward low-temperature reactivity. However, as nanocrystals, their reactivity is significantly enhanced. Here we show that intermetallic PtSn and AuCu nanocrystals can be converted, in solution at low temperatures, into derivative intermetallics. For example, PtSn can be converted into PtSn2 and Pt3Sn by reaction with SnCl2 and K2PtCl6, respectively. The reactions are also reversible, for example, the sequences PtSn --> PtSn2 --> PtSn and PtSn --> Pt3Sn --> PtSn are all readily achievable. The strategy also allows nanocrystalline AuCu to be successfully converted into AuCu3 via reaction with Cu(C2H3O2)2.H2O, suggesting that this approach may be general.     

Physico-chemical Properties of the Molten CuCl–CuCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> System: Experiment,Thermodynamics and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The molten CuCl–CuCl₂ system was studied by means of the maximum bubble pressure method, thermodynamics and molecular dynamics simulations at temperatures of 835, 866, 905 and 943 K. The equilibrium constant of CuCl₂ decomposition has been determined with thermodynamic simulation. The density and molar volume of the CuCl–CuCl₂ system were established as a function of composition. Some evidence of ideality of CuCl–CuCl₂ solutions was observed. The molar volumes of pure liquid CuCl₂ are equal to 44.64, 46.23, 46.55 and 46.81 cm³·mol^?1 at 835, 866, 905 and 943 K, correspondingly. Radial distribution functions, coordination numbers, self-diffusion coefficients and trajectories of motion were obtained by molecular dynamics simulation. For this reason a new pair potential for Cu²⁺–Cl^? pair has been designed. The coordination number of Cu²⁺ by Cl^? is about 4. This value corresponds to literature data with regards to this coordination. The self-diffusion coefficients are close to diffusion coefficients measured in molten salts solutions.
