According to recent research from Changsha, People's Republic of China, "Freezing structures of free silver nanodroplets containing different numbers of atoms have been studied by using MD simulation and adopting quantum Sutton-Chen (QSC) potential. It is demonstrated that during most of the solidi. cation processes there are a first order and a continuous phase transitions."
"By means of the cluster-type index method (CTIM-2) and three dimension graphic techniques, the internal structures of final nanoparticles have been investigated intensively. Besides regular crystalline, decahedral and icosahedral nanoparticles, some very interesting novelty morphologies ...
