Nanoalloys properties

And their relationship with structure and environment

Looking forward, the ability to determine crystal defects with high precision in nanoalloys and to functionalize hybrids at the nanoscale opens up the possibility for revolutionary new applications in many fields of science (catalysis, nanomedecine, high density data storage) and industry. There are many benefits from using nanoalloys to adjust their intrinsic catalytic, magnetic and optical properties depending on composition, shape and size, in order to improve their performance as fast time response to external solicitations or only to limit matter consumption. Nanoalloys thus need to be studied in their own environment to describe extrinsic properties of single nanoparticles or clusters assemblies and to optimize their use near real-life conditions.
