Characterization of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations
Article Abstract:
Molecular dynamics simulations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the three commonly occurring phases (anatase, brookite, and rutile) are reported and the structural properties inferred by simulated X-ray diffraction patterns of the nanoparticles are investigated. The surface energy of the small rutile particles are higher that that for anatase particles of a similar size, consistent with anatase being the more stable phase of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide.
