A BCC solid phase for sodium cluster composed by 309 atoms
We propose a BCC solid phase that could be adopted for an assembly of sodium clusters composed of 309 atoms. This is the structure resulting from adding one atom to the surface of a closed-layer cluster with BCC structure composed of 308 atoms. The cluster in each configuration associated with this solid phase is bonded with an energy ∼3.6 meV/atom lower than that acquired in its more stable (icosahedral) structure. In addition, it vibrates with frequencies lower than those with which it vibrates in its icosahedral structure. These are low enough for the assembly to acquire the BCC phase before melting. From a theoretical perspective with the harmonic approach we determine the thermodynamic properties of the assembly below its melting point. We find that it does indeed manifest a solid-solid phase transition. Our estimates of its properties: latent heat, entropy change and temperature are consistent with the available experimental data. It is therefore highly probable that the bcc phase presented here is the one previously detected by experiment. We conclude that the BCC phase has its origin in two properties of the cluster: 1) its sufficiently large size, and 2) its quasi-closed-layer structure.
Biography:
Dr. Reyes Nava is interested in Thermodynamics, Materials, and Fluid Mechanics. He is currently studying:
1) Phase Transitions of nanoparticle assemblies, 2) Perovskites, 3) Turbines, and 4) Tesla Pumps.
His most important contribution is the prediction of the most stable chemical order of bimetallic nanoparticles.
He has 483 citations according to Researchgate. He is a SNI level 1 researcher. He has graduated 10 postgraduate thesis students (1 Ph.D., 9 M.Sc.) and 1 undergraduate student.
He obtained his B.Sc. degree in Physics at BUAP in 1999 with the thesis "ROTATION CONSTANTIES OF INTERSTELLAR MOLECULES". He received his Master's degree in Science (Physics) from IFUNAM in 2003, and his PhD in Science (Physics) in 2005, also from IFUNAM, with the thesis "SOLID-LIQUID TRANSITION IN SODIUM CLUSTERS". Since 2011 he is a Full Time Researcher level C at the Institute for Research in Renewable Energies of UNICACH.
