On the problem of the phase diagramm for binary metal nanoparticles – page 330
Abstract: The problem of the phase diagram for binary metal nanoparticles is stated and discussed. From this viewpoint, three size ranges of metal nanoparticles are distinguished: small metal nanoparticles less than 1-2 nm in size, for which concepts of the thermodynamic phase and phase transitions seem to fail completely, mesoscopic particles containing from several hundreds to several thousands of atoms and big particles of order of 100 nm in size, for which the size dependence of the surface energy is not principal. As a pattern of phase diagrams for mesoscopic particles, phase diagram for binary Au-Ag particles consisting of 2000 atoms has been obtained using molecular dynamics results and discussed. It has been found that the form of this phase diagram principally differs from that for the corresponding balk phases. The melting-crystallization hysteresis is treated as the main reason of such a divergence.
Keywords: phase diagram, binary nanoparticles Au-Ag, melting-crystallization hysteresis.

Surface modification of polystyrene thin films by radio frequency nitrogen plasma treatment – page 359
Abstract: The effect of treatment by the radio frequency (RF) nitrogen plasma of magnetron discharge on surface modification of polymer thin films was studied. The dependence of surface roughness and wettability on the plasma exposure time was investigated. It was shown that increasing the treatment time in the nitrogen plasma in the range of 0-20 seconds reduces wetting angle from 110° to 69°. Also, it was observed a non-monotonic dependence of the roughness index in the range of 1,54-18,9 nm.
Keywords: plasma treatment, surface modification, polystyrene.

The features of behavior of thermodynamic and structural characteristics of cobalt nanoparticles with «magic» number of atoms – page 363
Abstract: Investigations of thermodynamic and structural characteristics of cobalt nanoclusters in the process of phase transition melting/crystallization with the goal to identify characteristics of their behavior typical for the clusters with the «magic» number of atoms. The melting point of nanoclusters was determined using the temperature dependence of the specific internal energy of nanoclusters.
Keywords: cobalt nanoclusters, phase transition, melting temperature, «magic» numbers.

Research of structure and optical properties of LiNbO3:Zn crystals – page 372
Abstract: Structure of LiNbO3:Zn crystals was shown to be more ordered in concentration range ~ 3,95÷4,54 mol. % ZnO . Rise of dopant concentration to 5,84 mol. % leads to sharp increase of 876 cm-1 Raman band. This band is connected with changes in B-O-B ( B=Nb, Li , Zn ) bridge. Change of ion contribution to this band explains smooth rise in electro-optical coefficients at 3-7,6 mol. % ZnO in LiNbO.
Keywords: single crystal, lithium niobate, doping, zinc cations, Raman spectroscopy, full-profile XRD, stretching modes.

Assessment of the stability of the palladium-platinum nanoparticles of various types of structure – page 379
Abstract: Using molecular dynamics method and the EAM potential, the thermal stability was investigated of the structure of Pt – Pd nanoparticles (D=1,5-4,0 nm) of various types (binary alloy, core-shell, Janus) and with different percentages of platinum atoms. It is shown that under the growth of the nanoparticles size, the thermal stability of their structure increased, and at the D=3,0 nm transitions to other isomorphic modification were not found.
Keywords: nanoparticles, platinum, palladium, EAM-potential, structure.

The analysis of the thermal stability of Cu@Si nanoparticles – page 387
Abstract: In the work using molecular dynamics simulations, the parameters of the thermal stability of the composite nanoparticles Cu@Si of different size and structure were calculated. It was found that the thermal point of abrupt change in potential energy of the investigated particles. The relationship of these changes with the violation of the nanocomposite structure is discussed. It was concluded that with increasing the temperature the diffusion of copper atoms to the surface results in a reversal of the particle structure.
Keywords: nanoparticles, core-shell, MEAM- potential, thermal stability.

Structural properties of ferroelectric polymers (PVDF and PTFE-42, SKF-32) and composites based on it – page 398
Abstract: Some structural properties of ferroelectric polymer thin film samples of polyvinylidenefluoride, its copolymers (F-42, SKF-32) and its composites with ferrite powder were investigated. Infrared spectroscopy shows that film of SKF-32 does not have areas of VDF chains with long sequences in planar zigzag conformation. Evaluation of the effect of the ferrite particles on the polymer matrix shows, that filler promotes the formation of new crystallization nuclei in the polymer F-42 and PVDF (F2M). By using the methods of polarizing optical microscopy and laser light scattering it was revealed that the PVDF film obtained by hot pressing, have spherilitic supramolecular structure, whereas the samples prepared by precipitation from solution, do not have such structure.
Keywords: ferroelectric polymers, ferrites, composites.
