Anotace
The aim of the project is to combine advanced theoretical and experimental procedures and develop a novel approach to the modelling of size-dependent phase diagrams which extends current limited possibilities to more complex nanomaterials, such as systems with intermetallic phases. We will use a new and original combination of the semiempirical CALPHAD method with ab initio calculations of surface stress, developed by our research team, to predict phase diagrams of nanoalloys. Our novel theoretical approach will be further developed to allow modelling of surface stresses of complex phases in ternary systems. The results will be verified by their comparison with the experimental data obtained from synthetic and characterization studies on size- and composition controlled nanoparticles. Several metal based systems (Ni-Sb-Sn, Bi-X (X= Sb, Sn, In)) will be investigated that are selected from a low-temperature region below 550°C where diffusion is slow and prevents particle growth and sintering. This will allow the observation of size effects, such as melting point depression.
