ABSTRACTIsothermal-isobaric Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of a submonolayer Pb film in c(2×2) ordered structure adsorbed on a Cu(100) substrate showed retention of order to high T. The Embedded Atom Method (EAM) calculated the energy of atoms of overlayer and substrate. The time-averaged squared modulus of the two dimensional structure factor for the Pb overlayer measured the order of the overlayer. The results are for increasing T only, and require verification by simulated cooling.

ABSTRACTMany-body forces obtained by the Embedded-Atom Method (EAM) [41 are incorporated into the description of low energy collisions and surface ejection processes in molecular dynamics simulations of sputtering from metal targets. Bombardments of small, single crystal Cu targets (400–500 atoms) in three different orientations ({100}, {110}, {111}) by 5 keV Ar+ ions have been simulated. The results are compared to simulations using purely pair-wise additive interactions. Significant differences in the spectra of ejected atoms are found.

In this present study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been performed to investigate the influence of applied hydrostatic compressive and tensile pressure on glass forming process of Ni62Nb38 bimetallic glass using embedded atom method (EAM). During fast cooling (~10 K ps-1), tensile and compressive pressure has been applied having 0.001 GPa,0.01 GPa and 0.1 GPa magnitude. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for each pressurized (Tensile and Compressive nature) cooling case has been calculated and Tg is found to be dependent on both magnitude and nature of the pressure applied during cooling process.Voronoi cluster analysis has also been carried out to identify the structural evaluation during hydrostatically pressurised fast cooling process. In case of both hydrostatic tensile and compressive pressurised cooling processes, Tgincreases with the increase of pressure from 0.001 GPa to 0.1 GPa in magnitude.

ABSTRACTThe ultra-rapid melting and subsequent resolidification of Embedded Atom Method models of the fcc metals copper and gold are followed using a Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics computer simulation method. Results for the resolidification of an exposed (100) face of copper at room temperature are in good agreement with recent experiments using a picosecond laser. At T = 0.5 Tm, the morphology of the solid/liquid interface is shown to be similar to a Lennard-Jones model. The morphology of the crystal-vapor interface at 92% of Tm shows a significant disordering of the topmost layers. Difficulties with the EAM model for gold are observed. Comparison of the Baskes et al. and Oh and Johnson embedding functions are discussed.

Bcc Lattice

Molecular dynamics investigation of metal crystallite with bcc lattice under nanoindentation was carried out. Potentials of interatomic interactions were calculated on the base of the approximation of the embedded atom method. The potentials chosen make it possible to describe with a high accuracy the elastic and surface properties of the simulated metal and energy parameters of defects, which is important for solution of the task posed in the work. For clarity and simpler indentation data interpretation, an extended cylindrical indenter was used in the investigation and loading was realized by its lateral surface. The simulated crystallite had a parallelepiped shape. The loaded plane of crystallite was modeled as a free surface while the positions of atoms in the opposite plane of crystallite were fixed along the indentation direction. Other planes of crystallite were simulated as free surfaces. The indenter velocity varied from 5 to 25 m/s in different calculations. The loading of the model crystallite was realized at 300 K. Influence of interfaces (free surfaces and grain boundaries) on peculiarities of plastic deformation nucleation and interactions of generated structural defects with interfaces in simulated crystallite under nanoindentation were investigated.

AbstractNanoparticle chain aggregates (NCA) serve as reinforcing fillers that are combined with molecular polymers to produce nano-composite materials, e.g. carbon black in rubber. The reinforcing mechanism due to the incorporation of nanoparticle aggregates is not well understood. Molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations are employed to investigate the behavior of nanoparticle chain aggregates under strain. The interaction potential used is that of Cu obtained with the embedded atom method (EAM). Three single-crystal Cu nanoparticles are placed in contact in two different configurations (linear and kinked) and the structures are initially relaxed with MD steps for 300 ps. We observe plastic deformation during the sintering process for very small particles (∼2.5 nm in diameter) at temperatures as low as 300 K. The relaxed configurations are then strained to the breaking point at strain rates in the order of 1 m/s. We identify mechanisms of strain accommodation that lead to nanoparticle plastic deformation and eventually fracture. The linear and the kinked configurations break at strains of 0.263 and 0.344 respectively, while the maximum stress is close to 4 GPa (strain rate: 0.625 m/s). Both structures fail at the low-angle grain boundaries developed during the sintering process, while the higher strain for fracture for the kinked configuration is associated with interface sliding not observed in the linear case.

Pair Analysis

In this work, the segregation and structural transitions of CoNi clusters, between 1500 and 300 K, have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with the embedded atom method potential. The radial distribution function was used to analyze the segregation during the cooling processes. It is found that Co atoms segregate to the inside and Ni atoms preferably to the surface during the cooling processes, the Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] cluster becomes a core–shell structure. We discuss the structural transition according to the pair-correction function and pair-analysis technique, and finally the liquid Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] crystallizes into the coexistence of hcp and fcc structure at 300 K. At the same time, it is found that the frozen structure of CoNi cluster is strongly related to the Co concentration.

AbstractIn this study, the Embedded Atom Method is combined with Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations to study the fracture properties of Σ9 and Σ11 tilt boundaries in nickel. The Monte Carlo simulations are used to simulate the exposure of the bicrystal to a hydrogen environment at 300° C. These simulations establish the equilibrium distribution of hydrogen at the boundaries as a function of far-field concentration. The effect of the hydrogen on the fracture process is then studied with molecular dynamics. It will be shown that the fracture stress of the Σ9 boundary is affected over a wider range of far-field concentrations than the Σ11 boundary, although the Σ11 boundary shows that catastrophic failure occurs when the sample is charged beyond a certain far-field concentration.
