Phase Transformation in Titanium Nanoparticles from First Principles

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have used molecular dynamics and first-principles calculations to investigate the structure and agglomeration of Ti nanoparticles. The results indicate that Ti nanoclusters undergo a phase transition with a change of point group symmetry. In addition, we found that titanium nanocluster growth occurred along the [0001] direction.
