A journey from bulk brass to nanobrass: A comprehensive study showing structural evolution of various Cu/Zn bimetallic nanophases from the vaporization of brass
First time analysis of vaporization of an alloy (brass) in solvated metal atom dispersion (SMAD) method. Synthesis of Cu/Zn@Cu core-shell nanocomposites by dealloying bulk brass in SMAD method. Preparation of brass nanoparticles demonstrating evolution of intermetallic and alloy phases. Demonstration of Zn atom diffusion and phase segregation during digestive ripening.
