Atomistic Simulations of the Crystalline-to-Amorphous Transformation of γ-Al2O3 Nanoparticles : Delicate Interplay between Lattice Distortions, Stresses, and Space Charges

The size-dependent phase stability of γ-Al2O3 was studied by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations over a wide temperature range from 300 to 900 K. For the γ-Al2O3 crystal, a bulk transformation to α-Al2O3 by an FCC-to-HCP transition of the O sublattice is still kinetically hindered at 900 K. H...
