Aluminum-based bimetallic core–shell nanoparticles have shown promising applications in civil and defense industries. This study addresses the thermal stability of aluminum–palladium (Al–Pd) core/shell nanoparticles with a varying shell thickness of 5, 6, and 7 A˚ , respectively. The classic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed in order to investigate the effects of the shell thickness on the ignition mechanism and subsequent energetic processes of these nanoparticles. |
