Two-phase equilibrium states in individual Cu–Ni nanoparticles: size, depletion and hysteresis effects

In isolated bimetallic nanoscale systems the limit amount of matter and surface-induced size effects can change the thermodynamics of first-order phase transformation. In this paper we present theoretical modification of Gibbs free energy concept describing first-order phase transformation of binary...
