Growth pathways of exotic Cu@Au core@shell structures: the key role of misfit strain
El yakout El koraychy, Riccardo Ferrando
Abstract
structures that are obtained after some structural transformations. For mixed seeds, the growth leads to quite regular structures resembling those obtained for pure metals. These growth pathways originate from strain relaxation mechanisms, which are rationalized by calculating the atomic level stress.
