The activation energy, vibrational frequency, and surface-diffusion jumps of a single adatom on a perfect (111) surface were studied using the embedded-atom method. The activation energy was determined with a conjugate gradient energy-minimization procedure. The surface adatom was moved in steps across the (111) plane through a saddle point. The adatom position was fixed within (parallel to) the (111) plane; but, the Ag adatom was free to relax, normal to the (111) plane. In this way the adatom was free to ride up over the saddle point; so that at each fixed position within the (111) plane the Ag adatom was free to move to its minimum energy. Also all of the atoms within the Ag crystal were free to relax to minimum-energy positions as the Ag adatom was moved across the surface. The minimum activation energy calculated for adatom diffusion was 0.058 eV. The embedded-atom method was also combined with a molecular dynamics simulation to observe the vibrations of the surface atoms and the adatom and to observe surface-diffusion jumps of the adatom. The adatom jumped to new surface sites at a frequency of approximately 1 × 1012 jumps s−1 at a temperature of 700 K.

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.

Fe sliding on a Fe substrate with surface texturing is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. The modified embedded-atom method many-body potential is used to describe the interaction of Fe atoms. The tribological properties of surface texturing during nanosliding are discussed. Results indicate that a textured surface has lower friction than that of a flat surface. In addition, a surface with parallel grooves has lower friction than that of a dimpled surface. Hence, surface texturing greatly affects friction.

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.

The structure and mechanical properties of Cu80Ni20 and Cu50Ni50 alloys with the size of 4000 atoms have been investigated using molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The interactions between atoms of the system were calculated by the Sutton-Chen type of embedded atom method. Using a cooling rate of 0.01 K\ps, we find that both Ni and Cu atoms are crystallized into face centered cubic (fcc) and the hexagonal close packed (hcp) phases when the sample was cooled down to 300 K. The atomic concentration of CuNi alloy samples have a different effect on this crystallization. The transformation to the crystalline phase is analyzed through the Common Neighbor Analysis (CNA) methods. Furthermore, we focus on the dependence of the mechanical properties of CuNi alloy on pressure and atomic concentration

The uniaxial compressive mechanical properties of nanocrystalline Fe are simulated with a molecular dynamics technique and the analytical embedded-atom method. An asymmetrical mechanical phenomenon between tensile and compressive process is found, and the yield stress and flow stress in compression are higher than those in tension simulations. The compressive deformation process can be described as three characteristic regions: quasi-elastic deformation, plastic flowing deformation, and strain strengthening. During the plastic flowing deformation region, the material shows very good compressive ductibility. The plastic deformation is mainly dominated by the grain boundary atom slide.

AbstractThe mechanical properties of Au nanowires under a uniaxial load are investigated by molecular-dynamics simulation. The modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) potential is employed to calculate the interactions between Au atoms. Ten kinds of model nanowires with different cross-sections and axis directions are prepaired. The structural dependence and size effect of the Young’s moduli of Au nanowires are discussed.

Particle Shapes

The embedded atom method (EAM) has been used to compare the stability of a series of small palladium clusters with 5–60 atoms and a variety of shapes. It is found that the 13- and 55-atom icosahedra and cubo-octahedra are stable at 0 K. However, other sized icosahedra and cubo-octahedra are unstable at 0 K. Upon annealing, the icosahedra and cubo-octahedra reconstruct into nonpolyhedral structures which are highly strained. The strained structures are much more stable than the icosahedron or cubo-octahedron except when there are 13 or 55 atoms in the cluster. Further, there are many disordered shapes which are within 0.01 eV of the minimum energy structures at all cluster sizes including 13 and 55 atoms. We observe transitions between these low energy structures in Monte Carlo calculations. These results suggest that at equilibrium one should rarely observe polyhedral palladium particles. Instead, most of the particles should be disordered. Further, there should be a wide distribution of particle shapes in agreement with experiment.

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to explore the thermodynamics and dynamics properties of liquid Cu-Ni alloy based upon developed embedded atom methods (EAM), namely due to G. Bonny. The calculated liquid density shows that the potential underestimates the measured atomic density for Ni-rich composition. The calculated mixing enthalpy predicts the potential underestimates the mixing enthalpy when the concentration of Ni is increased beyond roughly 30 at. %. We make a conclusion from the fact that the G. Bonny’s model is not full perfect in describing the density and mixing enthalpy of Cu-Ni melts at the Ni-rich composition.
