Size-Induced Freezing Effect in Monte-Carlo Simulations of Phase Separation Kinetics in Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The separation kinetics in a binary nanoparticle is studied by means of two-dimensional Monte-Carlo sampling and Ising-type model, where the species exchange positions due to vacancy mechanism. The model is developed in case of a free nanoparticle with a coating shell. The kinetics is shown to depend on the size of a nanosystem. We demonstrate a distinct size-induced freezing effect on kinetics of separation.
