Composition-dependent chemical ordering predicted in Pt–Ag nanoalloys
Literature Information
Pt–Ag nanoalloys display an astonishing chemical organization depending on their size and composition. Reversed size-dependent stabilization of ordered nanophases [J. Pirart et al., Nat. Commun., 2019, 10, 1982–1989] has recently been shown around equiconcentration. We extend this study by a theoretical investigation on the whole range of compositions showing a significant composition-dependent chemical ordering in Pt–Ag nanoalloys. At a low silver content, the surface exhibits a strong Ag segregation coupled to a (2 × 1) superstructure on the (100) facets. By increasing the silver concentration, the system displays an L11 ordered phase in the core, interrupted in a narrow range of concentrations by a concentric multishell structure characterized by an alternation of Ag-pure/Pt-pure concentric layers starting from the surface shell to the core. Although the L11 ordered phase has been observed experimentally, the concentric multishell structure is lacking due to the difficulty of the experimental characterization.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
