We carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the oxidation of zinc nanoclusters to investigate the process of the formation of Zn-ZnO “core-shell” nanoclusters. In the present work it is being shown that the structure, shape and oxide layer thickness of the obtained particles directly depend on the initial oxygen density and initial temperature of the system. An increase of initial oxygen density the oxide layer thickness of obtained nanoparticles increase to a certain limit. During the analysis it was found, that created clusters mainly preserved their structure of core, but structure of shell commonly was amorphous. Also, we had studied the luminescence properties of experimentally created nanostructures. It was observed increase in quantum efficiency of luminescence. |
