Abstract

This study investigates the thermal behavior of nanoalloys with a 13-atom icosahedral core surrounded by a 32-atom Bergman shell using molecular dynamics simulations. Both monometallic (Ni₁₃@Ni₃₂, Pd₁₃@Pd₃₂, Ag₁₃@Ag₃₂) and bimetallic (Ni₁₃@Ag₃₂, Ni₁₃@Pd₃₂) clusters were analyzed to evaluate the effects of atomic size mismatch and cohesive energy on melting behavior. Simulations were performed from 1 K to 1300 K under constant-temperature conditions. Caloric curves and Lindemann indices were used to identify structural transitions. Among all systems, only the Ni₁₃@Ag₃₂ cluster maintained its quasi-spherical shell integrity during heating and showed clear surface-driven melting. Other systems, including those with ideal size matching, experienced structural instabilities or rearrangements before melting. These results demonstrate that the Bergman shell offers thermal and structural stability specifically for the Ni-Ag combination, despite its moderate (~16%) size mismatch. The findings highlight the importance of both geometric compatibility and energetic favorability in the design of stable core-shell nanoalloys.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 13 atomlu bir ikosahedral çekirdek üzerine yerleştirilmiş 32 atomlu Bergman kabuğa sahip nanoalaşımların termal davranışı moleküler dinamik simülasyonları ile incelenmiştir. Atomik boyut uyumsuzluğu ve kohezyon enerjisinin erime davranışı üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla, tek elementli (Ni₁₃@Ni₃₂, Pd₁₃@Pd₃₂, Ag₁₃@Ag₃₂) ve iki elementli (Ni₁₃@Ag₃₂, Ni₁₃@Pd₃₂) kümeler analiz edilmiştir. Simülasyonlar sabit sıcaklık koşullarında 1 K ile 1300 K arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapısal geçişleri belirlemek için kalorik eğriler ve Lindemann indisleri kullanılmıştır. Tüm sistemler arasında yalnızca Ni₁₃@Ag₃₂ kümesi ısıtma süresince küreselimsi kabuk yapısını korumuş ve belirgin bir yüzey kaynaklı erime davranışı sergilemiştir. İdeal boyut uyumu gösteren sistemler de dahil olmak üzere diğer yapılar, erime öncesinde yapısal kararsızlık veya yeniden düzenlenme göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlar, yaklaşık %16’lık bir boyut uyumsuzluğuna rağmen Bergman kabuğunun yalnızca Ni-Ag kombinasyonu için termal ve yapısal açıdan kararlı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, kararlı iç-kabuk nanoalaşımlar tasarımında geometrik uyumun ve enerjik uygunluğun birlikte önem taşıdığını göstermektedir.

Turkish Journal of Science & Technology is an International Refereed Journal and has been publishing since 2002 with articles in English as 2 issues (September, March) annually. In order to shed light on the knowledge base and technological developments of science and engineering sciences, there are studies of original research articles on experimental and theoretical advances in science and engineering. In order for the scientific content to be delivered correctly and appropriately, all articles are sent to at least two referees who are experts in their fields. Articles that are deemed positive at the end of the evaluation process are put in print order to be published as soon as possible and the article evaluation process is reported to the responsible author.

Publication Principles:

Articles submitted for publication are evaluated by national and / or international referees; the acceptance-rejection decision is made by the editors taking into account the referee opinions. The names of the referees evaluating the articles are not reported to the authors (blind peer review). The referees' reviews of double-blind peer reviews are left to the author's preference. Authors who want to use this preference should delete name and address lines of their articles and upload them to the system. A major (re-send for evaluation) or minor (correction required) revision decision is made to develop articles that are not considered sufficient in line with the referee's suggestions. Articles that are not considered sufficient scientifically are rejected. The major revision referees given about the article must be made within 30 days for the decision of the changes requested and within 15 days for the minor revision decision. Otherwise, the article is rejected.

Articles submitted for publication in our journal should be prepared according to journal article writing format. Articles that are not prepared in accordance with the print format are not taken into the print queue.

Writing Rules for Turkish Journal of Science & Technology

Ferhat Uçar, 1983 yılında Adana'da doğdu. Lisans eğitiminin ardından dört yıl süresince Adana, Gaziantep, Mersin ve İskenderun bölgelerinde uluslararası firmalarda yazılım satış mühendisi, otomasyon mühendisi ve proje mühendisi olarak görev yaptı. 2009 yılında akademik kariyere adım atan Uçar, 2018 yılında Fırat Üniversitesi Elektrik Elektronik Mühendisliği Anabilim Dalında makine öğrenmesi üzerine doktorasını tamamladı.

Şu anda Fırat Üniversitesi Teknoloji Fakültesi Yazılım Mühendisliği bölümünde öğretim üyesi olarak görev yapmakta olan Uçar, aynı zamanda Sam Houston State Üniversitesi ile uluslararası ortak lisans anlaşması bulunan programda İngilizce olarak yazılım mühendisliği dersleri vermektedir. Dergipark bünyesinde TR Dizinde taranan "Turkish Journal of Science & Technology", "Fırat Üniversitesi Mühendislik Bilimleri Dergisi" ve yine Dergipark'ta bulunan "Fırat Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi"nin baş editörlüğünü de yürütmektedir. Akademik kariyeri boyunca idari görevler de üstlenen Uçar, Teknoloji Fakültesi Dekan Yardımcılığı görevinin ardından Fırat Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü'nde müdür yardımcısı olarak görev yapmaktadır.

Uçar, IEEE, Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor and Francis ve Nature gibi prestijli platformlarda çok sayıda hakemlik görevini üstlenmiş, devam eden TÜBİTAK projelerinde ve bir COST aksiyonu projesinde araştırmacı olarak yer almaktadır. Fırat Üniversitesi'nin en büyük bütçeli projelerinden biri olan Code23 Fırat Yazılım Atölyesi'nin proje yönetim ekibinde de yer alan Uçar, mobil uygulama geliştirme eğitimi mentörü olarak da görev yapmaktadır.

Yapay zeka ve veri bilimi üzerine yoğunlaşan akademik çalışmalarına devam eden Ferhat Uçar, sektör ve akademi arasında köprü oluşturmayı hedefleyen çalışma ve projelerle kariyer yoluna devam etmektedir.
