Abstract
gas-phase synthesis. Indeed, our MD simulations revealed different coalescence mechanisms at play depending on the conditions, leading to segregated chemical orderings such as quasi-Janus core-satellite, or core-(partial) shell NPs, despite the expected theoretical tendency for elemental mixing.
