The embedded atom method (EAM) potentials, originally proposed for solid state calculations, have been applied to investigate the atomic transport property namely the diffusion coefficients of liquid Ni, Cu, Ag and Au. Two different liquid state theories, specifically the linearized Weeks–Chandler–Andersen (LWCA) theory and the Gibbs–Boguliubov variational method (GB) are used to evaluate the packing fraction near melting temperature. Calculated values for the diffusion coefficients are compared with the available experimental data. Results of variational calculations are found to be better in agreement. Results of calculations also allow us to conclude that the concerning EAM potentials are transferable to the study of atomic transport properties of liquid transition and noble metals.

AbstractThe formation energy of the mono-vacancy and both the formation energy and binding energy of the di-and tri-vacancy in BCC alkali metals and transition metals have been calculated by using the modified analytical embedded-atom method (MAEAM). The formation energy of each type of configuration of the vacancies in the alkali metals is much lower than that in the transition metals. From minimum of the formation energy or maximum of the binding energy, the favorable configuration of the di-vacancy and tri-vacancy respectively is the first-nearest-neighbor (FN) or second-nearest-neighbor (SN) di-vacancy and the [112] tri-vacancy constructed by two first-and one second-nearest-neighbor vacancies. It is indicated that there is a concentration tendency for vacancies in BCC metals.
