Article Description

The present work is aimed to investigate the effect of shell thickness on melting behavior, and structural and dynamic proper- ties of Al@Fe CSNPs by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results of the calorific curves show a smooth decline in the energy at temperatures greater than room temperature, corresponding to two-way movement between Al and Fe atoms (mixing effect). Here, the stability of the Al@Fe nanoparticle is lost to become an Al-Fe mixed system by an exothermic mechanism. Combining, quantities of the atomic diffusion and structural identification, a stepped structural transition of the system is subsequently observed, where the melting-like temperature was estimated. Furthermore, it is generally observed that the Al@Fe CSNPs with greater stability is obtained with a thick shell and a large size.
