In this work, the segregation and structural transitions of CoNi clusters, between 1500 and 300 K, have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with the embedded atom method potential. The radial distribution function was used to analyze the segregation during the cooling processes. It is found that Co atoms segregate to the inside and Ni atoms preferably to the surface during the cooling processes, the Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] cluster becomes a core–shell structure. We discuss the structural transition according to the pair-correction function and pair-analysis technique, and finally the liquid Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] crystallizes into the coexistence of hcp and fcc structure at 300 K. At the same time, it is found that the frozen structure of CoNi cluster is strongly related to the Co concentration.

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study the initial roll guided structural transition of graphene. The flat graphene is thermodynamic metastable and small disturbance can strike its balance and lead to fold. An initial roll at one end causes the graphene layer to transform into double-fold, multi-fold and scroll spontaneously, depending on the size of the initial roll. This unique phenomenon results from the combined action of the van der Waals interaction and the π–π stacking effect. The potential energy of the final structures decreases with the increase of compact level. This study provides crucial simulation input to help guide to designing the required graphene-based nanostructures.
