1. A method of synthesizing a nano-structured alloy material, the method comprising:
providing a nanoparticle;
providing a matrix phase surrounding the nanoparticle; and
adding a solute of an alkali/alkali earth metal excluding Sr to alter (i) a material property of the nanoparticle, (ii) a material property of the matrix phase, and (iii) an interaction of the nanoparticle with the matrix phase.
