The thermal stability of hollow gold nanoparticles has been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. On the basis of the MD simulation results, the hollow nanoparticles have been classified into three categories, namely, stable, half-stable, and unstable systems. The stability of hollow nanop...
