Abstract

Surface segregation in Ni–Cu binary nanowire is studied using an integrated approach that combines atomistic (molecular dynamics) and thermodynamic simulation. It is shown that a tendency toward the spontaneous surface segregation of Cu atoms is a factor that stabilizes bimetallic structure Ni (core)/Cu (shell) and destabilizes structure Cu (core)/Ni (shell).
