The problem of applicability of thermodynamics to small objects has been investigated. It is shown that the Gibbs surface
phase method may be extended to nanoparticles if the effective surface tension (the specific excess free energy) is interpreted
as a function of the particle radius.

The problem of size dependence of surface tension was investigated in view of a more general problem of the applicability
of Gibbs’ thermodynamics to nanosized objects. For the first time, the effective surface tension (coinciding with the specific
excess free energy for an equimolecular dividing surface) was calculated within a wide temperature range, from the melting
temperature to the critical point, using the thermodynamic perturbation theory. Calculations were carried out for Lennard-Jones
and metallic nanosized droplets. It was found that the effective surface tension decreases both, with temperature and particle
size. 相似文献

Low-lying equilibrium geometric structures of Phosphorus-doped aluminum cluster Al
n
P (n = 2–12) clusters obtained by an all-electron linear combination of atomic orbital approach, within spin-polarized density
functional theory, are reported. The binding energy, dissociation energy, and stability of these clusters are studied within
the local spin density approximation (LSDA) and the three-parameter hybrid generalized gradient approximation (GGA) due to
Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP). Ionization potentials, electron affinities, hardness, and static polarizabilities are calculated
for the ground-state structures within the GGA. It is observed that symmetric structures with the P atom occupying a peripheral
position are lowest-energy geometries of Al
n
P (n = 2, 4–11), while the P impurities of Al3P and Al12P prefer to occupy internal sites in the aluminum clusters. Generalized gradient approximation extends bond lengths as compared
to the LSDA lengths. The odd-even oscillations in the dissociation energy, the second differences in energy, the HOMO–LUMO
gaps, the ionization potential, the electron affinity, and the hardness are more pronounced within both GGA and LSDA. The
stability analysis based on the energies clearly shows the clusters with an even number of valence electrons are more stable
than clusters with odd number of valence electrons. 相似文献

Magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt ferrites Co
x
Fe3−x
O4 (x = 1 or 2) have been obtained either by mechanical milling or thermal treatment of pre-prepared layered double hydroxide carbonate
x-LDH–CO3. Mechanical milling of the 1-LDH–CO3 leads to the large-scale preparation of nearly spherical nanoparticles of CoFe2O4, the size of which (5 to 20 nm) is controlled by the treatment time. Core-shell structure with surface spin-canting has been
considered for the nanoparticles formed to explain the observed hysteresis loop shift (from ZFC–FC) in the magnetic properties.
Annealing treatment of the 2-LDH–CO3 below 673 K results in the formation of nearly spherical pure Co2FeO4 nanoparticles. At 673 K and above, the LDH decomposition leads to the formation of a mixture of both spinels phases Co2FeO4 and CoFe2O4, the amount of the latter increases with annealing temperature. Unusually high magnetic hardness characterized by a 22 kOe
coercive field at 1.8 K has been observed, which reflects the high intrinsic anisotropy for Co2FeO4. 相似文献

In this work, we experimentally showed that the spontaneous segregation of MgO as surface excess in MgO doped SnO2 nanoparticles plays an important role in the system's energetics and stability. Using X-ray fluorescence in specially treated samples, we quantitatively determined the fraction of MgO forming surface excess when doping SnO2 with several different concentrations and established a relationship between this amount and the surface energy of the nanoparticles using the Gibbs approach. We concluded that the amount of Mg ions on the surface was directly related to the nanoparticles total free energy, in a sense that the dopant will always spontaneously distribute itself to minimize it if enough diffusion is provided. Because we were dealing with nanosized particles, the effect of MgO on the surface was particularly important and has a direct effect on the equilibrium particle size (nanoparticle stability), such that the lower the surface energy is, the smaller the particle sizes are, evidencing and quantifying the thermodynamic basis of using additives to control SnO2 nanoparticles stability. 相似文献

The energy spectra of traps in NaCl crystals have been studied in detail by the method of thermoluminescence. Crystals of
NaCl were undoped but treated thermally in different ways. The activation energies of traps form a single oscillator series,

was not found in Raman spectra of NaCl. It is assumed that the oscillator rule is governed by the polaron nature of traps.
The trap activation energy is determined by the vibration level from which the transition of the charge carrier to the excited
luminescence centre is made possible and depends on the distance between these centres. 相似文献

Equilibrium geometries, charge distributions, stabilities and electronic properties of the Ag-adsorbed (MgO)
n
(n = 1–8) clusters have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for
exchange-correlation functional. The results show that hollow site is energetically preferred for n⩾4, and the incoming Ag atoms tend to cluster on the existing Ag cluster. The Mulliken populations indicate that the interaction
between the Ag atom and Magnesia clusters is mainly induced by a weak atomic polarization. The adsorbed Ag atom only causes
charge redistributions of the atoms near itself. The effect of the adsorbed Ag atom on the bonding natures and structural
features of Magnesia clusters is minor. Furthermore, the investigations on the first energy difference, fragmentation energies
and electron affinities show that the Ag(MgO)4 and Ag(MgO)6 are the most stable among studied clusters.

采用密度泛函理论对H2与Rhn(n=1—8)团簇的相互作用进行了系统研究.结果表明, RhnH2体系的最低能量结构是在Rhn团簇最低能量结构的基础上吸附H原子生长而成.吸附H原子没有改变Rhn团簇的结构, 键长是影响Rhn和RhnH2磁矩的主要因素.从优化后的几何结构可以看出吸附后的H2发生断键,表明H2分子发生了解离性吸附.当n≤5,H原子的吸附以桥位为主,当n≥6时,H原子开始出现空位吸附.H原子的吸附提高了Rhn的稳定性和化学活性,较小的吸附能表明H原子易从RhnH2中解离出来.二阶能量差分表明4是RhnH2和Rhn团簇的幻数.

In this article, various energies and geometries of pure platinum nanoparticles and those of platinum nanoparticles with adsorbed
OH were investigated. Fourteen different platinum clusters of 3–40 atoms were studied using spin-unrestricted density functional
theory (DFT) with a double numerical plus polarization basis set. This range of sizes gave enough information for establishing
the general trends that were the primary goal of the study. Three different shapes of platinum clusters were presented, and
the effect of cluster size on binding energy, total energy, and HOMO–LUMO energy gap was investigated. Subsequently, same
calculations were performed for those selected Pt clusters with OH adsorbate on the surface. The results show that the stability
of both the pure clusters and the clusters with adsorbed OH molecule increases with an increase of cluster size. This fact
indicates that direct influence of the size of Pt cluster on the reaction rate is possible, and the understanding of how cluster
size would affect binding energy is important. As expected, the effect of cluster size on total energy of molecule was shown
to be a linear function independent of cluster type. We also found that optimized (stable) Pt clusters were bigger in size
than that of the initial clusters, or clusters with bulk geometry. 相似文献

A universal probe method for measuring the temperature of large clusters (nanoparticles) in a cluster beam has been proposed
and experimentally implemented. The temperature of large van der Waals clusters (nanoparticles) (CO2)
N
(where N ⩾ 102 is the number of monomers in a cluster) in the cluster beam is measured using this method with SF6 molecules as miniature probe thermometers. The SF6 molecules are captured by the (CO2)
N
clusters in intersecting cluster and molecular beams and sublimate from the surface of the clusters, carrying information
on the velocity and temperature (internal energy) of the clusters. The velocity (kinetic energy) of SF6 molecules sublimating from the surface of the clusters has been measured by the time-of-flight method and the temperature
of the clusters has been determined as T

To exploit the advantages of nanoparticles for various applications, controlling the dispersion and agglomeration is of paramount importance. Agglomeration and dispersion behavior of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles was investigated using electrokinetic and surface chemical properties. Nanoparticles are generally stabilized by the adsorption of a dispersant (polyelectrolyte) layer around the particle surface and in this connection ammonium salt of polymethacrylic acid (Darvan C) was used as dispersant to stabilize the suspension. The dosages of polyelectrolyte were optimized to get best dispersion stability by techniques namely particle charge detector (13.75 mg/g) and adsorption (14.57 mg/g). The surface charge of TiO2 particles changed significantly in presence of dispersant Darvan C and isoelectric point (iep) shifted significantly towards lower pH from 5.99 to 3.37. The shift in iep has been quantified in terms of free energy of interaction between the surface sites of TiO2 and the adsorbing dispersant Darvan C. Free energies of adsorption were calculated by electrokinetic data (−9.8 RT unit) and adsorption isotherms (−10.56 RT unit), which corroborated well. The adsorption isotherms are of typical Langmuir type and employed for calculation of free energy. The results indicated that adsorption occurs mainly through electrostatic interactions between the dispersant molecule and the TiO2 surface apart from hydrophobic interactions. 相似文献

We have investigated the laser fluence dependence of the ion emission process in ultrafast laser ablation of graphite using
a time-of-flight technique. Two regimes of ion emission have been identified: (1) a highly nonlinear laser absorption process
accompanied by generation of a transient electrical field on the surface and collisionless emission of ions due to electrostatic
repulsion; (2) a saturation regime for laser power absorption characterised by nearly equal kinetic energy of ejected carbon
clusters. We also show the effect of the surface temperature on the emitted clusters’ stability and the influence of nonlinearity
on the intensity autocorrelation traces. 相似文献

Information on paths in absorption and deactivation of energy gained by molecules in their excitation by electron impact to
low-lying singlet states has been obtained from an analysis of changes in the fluorescence spectra of these molecules. It
is shown that there is a significant difference in the formation of fluorescence spectra when free molecules are excited by
optical radiation and by electrons. It contrast to optical excitation, the interaction of an electron with a molecule is nonselective
in character. All electronic states have a chance to be excited, which results in ensembles of emitting molecules with a different
store of vibrational energy, and these ensembles each contribute to the fluorescence spectrum.

We have investigated the heat capacity of ideal Cu and Ni fcc clusters with diameters from 2 to 6 nm in the temperature range
200–800 K by the molecular-dynamics method using a modified tight-binding potential. Our analysis has shown consistency with
the experimental results at temperatures of 200–300 K. The data obtained are also indicative of several regularities that
are in agreement with the analytical calculations. We have concluded from the results of our computer simulations that the
heat capacity in the case of isolated free clusters can exceed that of a bulk material, with this difference decreasing as
the nanoparticle grows proportionally to the reduction in the fraction of surface atoms. The excess of the heat capacity for
ideal copper and nickel nanoclusters with D = 6 nm at T = 200 K has been found to be 10% and 13%, respectively. Consequently, the large heat capacities of copper and nickel nanostructures
observed in some real experiments cannot be related to the characteristics of free clusters. We hypothesize that these properties
of a nanomaterial depend on the degree of agglomeration of its constituent particles, i.e., the surfaces and interphase boundaries
of interconnected nanoclusters can have a strong effect. To test this hypothesis, we took nickel and copper clusters of various
sizes (4000–7200 atoms) produced through the simulation of condensation from the gas phase. At high temperatures, we failed
to adequately assess the role of the interphase boundaries in calculating the heat capacity of nanoparticles. The reason was
the mass diffusion of Ni or Cu atoms to impart an energetically more favorable shape and structure to the synthesized clusters.
At low temperatures, the heat capacity of such clusters exceeded that of clusters with an ideal shape and structure by a value
from 3.2% to 10.6%. We have concluded that the Ni and Cu clusters produced in real experiments cannot be applied in devices
using the thermal energy of such clusters without a preliminary optimization stage, because their external shape and interior
structure are nonideal. 相似文献
