There are several methods to achieve alloying at the nanoscale:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This technique involves the deposition of materials from a vapor phase to create thin films and coatings. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): In this method, materials are vaporized in a vacuum and then condensed onto a substrate. Sol-Gel Processes: These involve the transition of a system from a liquid ‘sol’ into a solid ‘gel’ phase, allowing for precise control over composition. Ball Milling: A mechanical process that grinds materials down to nanoscale particles, often used for producing alloy nanoparticles.
