Thermodynamic Modeling of Surface Segregation in Au-Ti Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The surface composition of nanoparticles is generally different from the average or bulk composition; this phenomenon is commonly referred to as surface segregation. In the present work, the surface segregation in Au-Ti nanoparticles has been analyzed based on a thermodynamic model that incorporates the size effect into the quasichemical model. The calculated surface compositions of Au-Ti nanoparticles are compared with that of the bulk Au-Ti alloys.
