Pd single-atom sites on the surface of PdAu nanoparticles: A DFT-based Topological search for suitable compositions

Structure of model bimetallic PdAu nanoparticles is analyzed aiming to find Pd:Au ratios optimal for existence of Pd1 single-atom surface sites inside outer Au atomic shell. The analysis is performed using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and topological approach based on DFT-parameterized topological energy expression. The number of the surface Pd1 sites in the absence of adsorbates is calculated as a function of Pd concentration inside the particles. At low Pd contents none of the Pd atoms emerge on the surface in the lowest-energy chemical orderings. However, surface Pd1 sites become stable, when Pd content inside a Pd-Au particle reaches ca. 60%. Further Pd content increase up to almost pure Pd core is accompanied by increased concentration of surface Pd atoms, mostly as Pd1 sites, although larger Pd ensembles as dimers and linear trimers are formed as well. Analysis of the chemical orderings inside PdAu nanoparticles at different Pd contents revealed that enrichment of the subsurface shell by Pd with predominant occupation of its edge positions precedes emergence of Pd surface species

SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM IN THE DRYING OF FLAT INFRARED HEATING MATERIAL LAYER AT STATIONARY MOISTURE TRANSFER

Nonlinear process when the moisture has a stationary position from the point of the analytical research is needed for theoretical and applied problems. In this paper we investigate the distribution of the heat provided stationary moisture where heat distribution has a pattern differs from the linear interaction between moisture and heat. Permanence moisture sampling is the result of a relatively steady drying mode. In the drying chamber we have a closed volume, it is particularly noticeable for the vacuum chambers, and therefore there is almost stationary process between stable heating and evaporation. Obtained linear problem of parabolic type to accomplish this task with the appropriate boundary conditions, we can apply for the interval (0, l), separation of variables. The solution for linear and non-linear interaction of moisture and temperature in the case of stationary moisture have a predetermined temperature field as a result of solution of the nonlinear system that is needed to assess the effect of non-linearity which clearly identifies with a solution.Nonlinear process when the moisture has a stationary position from the point of the analytical research is needed for theoretical and applied problems.

Exposure of Nuclear Track Emulsion to a Mixed Beam of Relativistic 12^{12}N, 10^{10}C, and 7^7Be Nuclei

A nuclear track emulsion was exposed to a mixed beam of relativistic $^{12}$N, $^{10}$C, and $^7$Be nuclei having a momentum of 2 GeV/$c$ per nucleon. The beam was formed upon charge exchange processes involving $^{12}$C primary nuclei and their fragmentation. An analysis indicates that $^{10}$C nuclei are dominant in the beam and that $^{12}$N nuclei are present in it. The charge topology of relativistic fragments in the coherent dissociation of these nuclei is presented.Comment: ISSN 1063-7788, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 201

Morphology and microstructure evolution of gold nanostructures in the limited volume porous matrices

The modern development of nanotechnology requires the discovery of simple approaches that ensure the controlled formation of functional nanostructures with a predetermined morphology. One of the simplest approaches is the self-assembly of nanostructures. The widespread implementation of self-assembly is limited by the complexity of controlled processes in a large volume where, due to the temperature, ion concentration, and other thermodynamics factors, local changes in diffusion-limited processes may occur, leading to unexpected nanostructure growth. The easiest ways to control the diffusion-limited processes are spatial limitation and localized growth of nanostructures in a porous matrix. In this paper, we propose to apply the method of controlled self-assembly of gold nanostructures in a limited pore volume of a silicon oxide matrix with submicron pore sizes. A detailed study of achieved gold nanostructures’ morphology, microstructure, and surface composition at different formation stages is carried out to understand the peculiarities of realized nanostructures. Based on the obtained results, a mechanism for the growth of gold nanostructures in a limited volume, which can be used for the controlled formation of nanostructures with a predetermined geometry and composition, has been proposed. The results observed in the present study can be useful for the design of plasmonic-active surfaces for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based detection of ultra-low concentration of different chemical or biological analytes, where the size of the localized gold nanostructures is comparable with the spot area of the focused laser beam. © 2020 by the authors.

Progress of analysis of dissociation of 10

Recent findings related with the unstable nuclei 8Be and 9B in the coherent dissociation of relativistic nuclei 10C, 10B and 12C in nuclear track emulsion (“white”stars) are highlighted. Selection of the 10C “white”stars accompanied by 8Be (9B) leads to appearance of the distinct peak with a maximum at 4.1 ± 0.3 MeV in the excitation energy distribution of 2α2p ensembles. The 8Beg.s. nucleus is manifested in the coherent dissociation 10B → 2He + H with a probability of 25 ± 5 % including 13 ± 3 % of 9B decays. A probability ratio of the mirror channels 9B + n and 9Be + p is estimated to be 10 ± 1. Reanalysis of relativistic 12C dissociation in lead enriched emulsion revealed 9 3α-events corresponding to the Hoyle state
