Abstract:
The morphology and growth kinetics of silicon-silver (Si-Ag) multicomponent heterostructured nanoparticles in the gas phase were investigated. This system is interesting because Si is photoluminescent while Ag is plasmonic and, most importantly, because Si and Ag are eutectic-forming materials immiscible in the solid state. Remarkably, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations supported by high-resolution bright field (BF) transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with a resolution <0.1 nm in high angle annular dark field (HAADF) mode, revealed that the growth kinetics of such a system can be more complicated than just attaching Ag to Si and involve intermediate metastable phase transformations.
