The interfacial energy and diffusion phenomenon of the Al2O3(012)-SiC (011) interface model are studied based on molecular dynamics. The interfacial energy increases firstly until reaches its maximum 0.459J/m2at the temperature of 1500K and then decreases. The relationship of diffusion coefficients for each kind of atoms is C>Si>O>Al. Diffusion coefficients of atoms increase at first and then decrease as the temperature goes up. This indicates the diffusion mechanism has been changed during the temperature rising process.

The energetics and diffusion of water molecules and hydrated ions (Na+, Cl−) passing through nanopores in graphene are addressed by dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

In this paper, the diffusion isotope effect and diffusion mechanism are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations in two liquid alloys, Ni-Ag and Ni-Cu. The values for the diffusion isotope effect parameter allow for the estimate of the number of atoms which are moving cooperatively in a basic diffusion event as experienced by a given atomic species. It is shown that the composition dependence of ND is typically very small. However, the temperature dependence of this parameter is much more pronounced. In addition, it is shown that, on average, in these alloys and temperatures considered, ND is limited to the range: 5<ND<17. This is consistent with results of molecular dynamics simulations on the average coordination number calculations. This would suggest that, together with a given atom, depending on temperature, the neighbouring atoms are all involved in the basic diffusion event.
