• approach to modelling the formation of metal/semiconductor core–shell nanoparticles was described in [18]. There, a core–shell particle was obtained by spraying the outer shell on an already formed core. The molecular dynamics calculation of such a procedure showed the possibility of the formation of Cu–Si

However, after increasing the silicon concentration up to 50 atom %, silicon atoms are observed in large quantities in the centre of the core–shell particle (Figure 2b). A similar interconnection of the composition of the alloy and its

• particle size distribution of 500 nanoparticles of each certain type. The average size of the core–shell particle does not exceed 100 nm, as observed from transmission electron microscopy images (Figure 6, Figure 7a). The results of the elemental mapping of nanoparticles (Figure 7b) shows that copper and

In this work, a core/shell particle was obtained with a particle radius of 345 nm and a shell thickness of approximately 17 nm. These results revealed an excellent agreement with the data

Indeed, there are interesting fundamental
