AbstractIn this work, we present the bond order redefinition needed to reduce the inherent noise in order to enhance the accuracy of molecular dynamics simulations. We propose defining the bond order as a fraction of energy distribution. It happens due to the character of the material in nature, which tries to maintain its environment. To show the necessity, we developed a factory empirical interatomic potential (FEIP) for carbon that implements the redefinition with a short-range interaction approach. FEIP has been shown to enhance the accuracy of the calculation of lattice constants, cohesive energy, elastic properties, and phonons compared to experimental data, and can even be compared to other potentials with the long-range interaction approach. The enhancements due to FEIP can reduce the inherent noise, then provide a better prediction of the energy based on the behaviour of the atomic environment. FEIP can also transform simple two-body interactions into many-body interactions, which is useful for enhancing accuracy. Due to implementing the bond order redefinition, FEIP offers faster calculations than other complex interatomic potentials.

Iron-phosphate glasses, due to their properties, have many potential applications. One of the most promising seems to be nuclear waste immobilization. Radioactive 90Sr isotope is the main short-lived product of fission and, due to its high solubility, it can enter groundwater and pose a threat to the environment. On the other hand, Sr is an important element in hard tissue metabolic processes, and phosphate glasses containing Sr are considered bioactive. This study investigated the effect of SrO addition on a glass structure of nominal 30Fe2O3-70P2O5 chemical composition using classical molecular dynamics simulations. To describe the interaction between Sr-O ion pairs, new interatomic potential parameters of the Buckingham-type were developed and tested for crystalline compounds. The short-range structure of the simulated glasses is presented and is in agreement with previous experimental and theoretical studies. The simulations showed that an increase in SrO content in the glass led to phosphate network depolymerization. Analysis demonstrated that the non-network oxygen did not take part in the phosphate network depolymerization. Furthermore, strontium aggregation in the glass structure was observed to lead to the non-homogeneity of the glass network. It was demonstrated that Sr ions prefer to locate near to Fe(II), which may induce crystallization of strontium phosphates with divalent iron.

Based on first-principles density-functional calculations, we have developed and tested a force-field for silicon, which can be used for molecular dynamics simulations and the calculation of its thermal properties. This force field uses the exact Taylor expansion of the total energy about the equilibrium positions up to 4th order. In this sense, it becomes systematically exact for small enough displacements, and can reproduce the thermodynamic properties of Si with high fidelity. Having the harmonic force constants, one can easily calculate the phonon spectrum of this system. The cubic force constants, on the other hand, will allow us to compute phonon lifetimes and scattering rates. Results on equilibrium Green-Kubo molecular dynamics simulations of thermal conductivity as well as an alternative calculation of the latter based on the relaxation-time approximation will be reported. The accuracy and ease of computation of the lattice thermal conductivity using these methods will be compared. This approach paves the way for the construction of accurate bulk interatomic potentials database, from which lattice dynamics and thermal properties can be calculated and used in larger scale simulation methods such as Monte Carlo.

Oscillation Frequencies

Oscillators composed of incommensurate graphene sheets have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The oscillation frequencies can reach tens of gigahertz range and depend on the surface energy of the bilayer graphene and the oscillatory amplitude. We demonstrate the tunability of such an oscillator in terms of frequency and friction by its varying geometric parameters. Exploration of the damping mechanism by combining the autocorrelation function theory and the direct atomistic simulations reveals that the friction force is proportional to the velocity of oscillatory motion. The results should help optimize the design of graphene-based nanoelectromechanical devices.

AbstractLarge-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the atomiclevel stresses on InAs/GaAs mesas. The simulations are based on an interatomic-potential scheme for InAs/GaAs systems which depends on the local chemical composition. Multiresolution techniques are used to speed up the simulations. InAs/GaAs square mesas with { 101 }-type sidewalls are studied. The atomic-level pressure distribution and surface atomic stresses on the sidewalls with 12, 10, 8 and 6 monolayers of InAs overlayers have been calculated.
