Computational study of structural dependence of catalytic properties of Pt-Ru nanoalloy catalysts

Prasai B., Petkov V., Central Michigan University, US

Metal nanoparticles (NPs), composed of single-type metals and multiple-type metals, have attracted a great deal of interest in the research community since such NPs are key components in many useful applications such as catalytic, magnetic [...]

3D structure of nano-scale materials by total x-ray scattering

Petkov V., Central Michigan University, US

Knowledge about the three-dimensional (3D) structure, including the type and positions of atomic/molecular units in space, is an important prerequisite to understanding, predicting and improving properties of materials. With common materials it is routinely obtained [...]

3-D, nanocrystal, high-energy, X-ray, diffraction, atomic pair, distribution function analysis

Atomic-scale Structure of Nanocrystals by the Atomic Pair Distribution Function Technique

Petkov V., Central Michigan University, US

Knowledge of the atomic-scale structure is an important prerequisite to understand and control the properties of materials. In the case of crystals it is obtained solely from the Bragg peaks in their diffraction pattern and [...]
