A modified angular force model for the lattice dynamics of metals is used to test Lindemann's melting criterion by computing the ratio Ym of the mean square amplitude of thermal vibrations to the square of the interatomic spacing at the melting point for a number of cubic metals belonging to different groups in the periodic table.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

In this work, we introduce a simulation-based method for predicting the melting point of ionic liquids without prior knowledge of their crystal structure. We run molecular dynamics simulations of biofriendly, choline cation-based ionic liquids and apply the method to predict their melting point. The root-mean-square error of the predicted values is below 24 K. We advocate that such precision is sufficient for designing ionic liquids with relatively low melting points. The workflow for simulations is available for everyone and can be adopted for any species from the wide chemical space of ionic liquids.

The evaluation of the necessary duration of a molecular dynamics experiment for the calculation of the diffusion coefficient at migration of different point defects in Ni (vacancy, bivacancy, self-interstitial atom, hydrogen atom) is held in the present work. It is shown that at the temperature higher than 0.6 of melting point is usually enough the simulation during of 100 ps for this. When calculating of the diffusion coefficient of impurity in the metal crystal, for example, of hydrogen, the decrease of error of mean-square displacements of impurity atoms can be achieved by introducing of a large number of the impurities.

Lindemann's melting criterion for cubic metals is examined using Krebs's model for the lattice dynamics of metals by computing the ratio, xm, of the mean square displacement of thermal vibrations and the square of interatomic spacing at the melting temperature for a number of cubic metals belonging to different groups of the periodic table. This ratio has nearly the same value for elements of one particular group, but exhibits wide variation from one group to another. It is concluded that Lindemann's melting law is inadequate.

A simple spherically symmetric single-atom potential expression in the form of a series expansion in the atomic displacement is assumed to describe the potential energy of each atom in monatomic cubic crystals from room temperature to their melting point. Expressions are derived to account for thermal properties such as melting point and thermal expansion. Calculated results for 13 cubic metals are compared with experimental values. The model accounts for the broad trends in the experimental data and provides an estimate of the extent of anharmonicity to be found in these simple solids.

In spite of important delays in the initial planning, the full automation of the Bordeaux meridian circle is progressing well and will be ready for regular observations by the middle of the next year. It is expected that the mean square error for one observation will be about ±0.”10 in the two coordinates for declinations up to 87°.

It has long been known that defects such as stacking faults and voids can be quenched from various alloyed metals heated to near their melting point. Today it is common practice to irradiate samples with various ionic species of rare gases which also form voids containing solidified phases of the same atomic species, e.g. ref. 3. Equivalently, electron irradiation has been used to produce damage events, e.g. ref. 4. Generally all of the above mentioned studies have relied on diffraction contrast to observe the defects produced down to a dimension of perhaps 10 to 20Å. Also all these studies have used ions or electrons which exceeded the damage threshold for knockon events. In the case of higher resolution studies the present author has identified vacancy and interstitial type chain defects in ion irradiated Si and was able to identify both di-interstitial and di-vacancy chains running through the foil.
