We present new parallel algorithms for solving the problem of many body interactions in molecular dynamics (MD). Such algorithms are essential in the simulation of irradiation effects in crystals, where the high energy of the impinging particles dictates computing with large numbers of atoms and for many time cycles. We realized the algorithms using two parallelization methods and compared their performance. Experimental results obtained on a Meiko machine demonstrate that the new algorithms exploit parallelism effectively and can be used to simulate large crystals.

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.

AbstractThis work presents a molecular dynamics simulation method designed to describe the processes of electron and lattice relaxation taking place in typical cascade volumes formed by high-energy implants. The simulation method is based on classical mechanics and includes the motions of electrons and nuclei. The results are in agreement with experiments.

Abstract The classical molecular dynamics simulation of the low-energy glancing angle deposition of titanium dioxide films is performed. The deposition angle varies from 60° to 80°. It is found that the film structure consists of parallel slanted columns which lead to the anisotropy of films properties. The difference between the main components of the refractive index tensor is about 0.14, which is close to the values obtained for high-energy titanium dioxide films and larger than 0.03 obtained earlier for silicon dioxide films.

In this research, the thermal conductivity of aluminum (Al) in macro scale was investigated by the molecular dynamics simulation technique. We used FORTRAN programming in the simulations and used a fixed number of atoms, N, confined to a fixed pressure, P, and maintained at a constant preset temperature, T, i.e. the NPT ensemble. The Sutton-Chen many-body potential was used to calculate energy and force. The temperature and pressure of the system were controlled by Nosé-Hoover thermostat and Berendsen barostat respectively. We could solve the equations of motion using the Velocity Verlet algorithm. We calculated the thermal conductivity of Al in the macro scale using the Green-Kubo method. Moreover, we have studied the effect of increasing temperature on the value of the thermal conductivity of Al. The obtained results showed that the computed thermal conductivities are in good agreement with experimental data.
