Abstract

The structure of an fcc(001)/fcc(001) interphase boundary in a “nickel hemispherical crystal nanoparticle-palladium crystal substrate” system is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with multiparticle potentials calculated in the framework of the embedded-atom method as a function of the angle of rotation of the nanoparticle. Relaxation transformations are found to occur in a component of the system under investigation with a larger lattice parameter. It is demonstrated that, under given annealing conditions, the system is characterized by a size dependence of the angle of rotation of a nanoparticle: the annealing leaves the location of large islands virtually unchanged but brings about a rotation of small nanoparticles into a parallel orientation or an orientation with a local energy minimum.
