Resumen:
Results of dynamical simulations of collision-induced formation and properties of bimetallic nanoparticles are presented and analyzed. The analysis includes the effects of the collision energy and the impact parameter. For nonzero impact parameters, the formed (in many cases Janus-type) nanoparticles are rotating. The energy of the rotating nanoparticles is decomposed into the rota- tional and vibrational components, and the structural effects of these components are analyzed. Comparison is made with the case of the corresponding homoatomic systems, formed by colli- sion of nanoparticles with the same elemental composition.
