Abstract EN
Au and Ag nanoparticles embedded in amorphous Al2O3 matrix are fabricated by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique, which are confirmed by the experimental high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) results, respectively.
The strain distribution of Au and Ag nanoparticles embedded in the Al2O3 matrix is investigated by the finite-element (FE) calculations.
The simulation results clearly indicate that both the Au and Ag nanoparticles incur compressive strain by the Al2O3 matrix.
However, the compressive strain existing on the Au nanoparticle is much weaker than that on the Ag nanoparticle.
This phenomenon can be attributed to the reason that Young’s modulus of Au is larger than that of Ag.
This different strain distribution of Au and Ag nanoparticles in the same host matrix may have a significant influence on the technological potential applications of the Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles.
