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.

This paper describes the calculation of material properties of copper (Cu) using the molecular dynamics method. Vacancy formation energy, bulk modulus, surface energy and melting point are calculated using different potentials such as the Morse potential and Embedded Atom Method (EAM). Results obtained from different potentials are discussed and compared with experimental results.

Calculated Liquid

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.

Atomic Segregation

Atomic segregation in bimetallic clusters can influence the surface constituent and be used to affect the frozen structure. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation with an embedded atom method was used to study the frozen structures of (CoCu)561 clusters with different Co contents. It is found that the clusters can freeze to form icosahedron, truncated octahedron, decahedron or hcp with the change of Co contents. In these geometries, the structure of the lowest energy state is hcp, then in turn decahedron and truncated octahedron. The frozen structures are related to the release of excess energy, while the released excess energy was affected by the amount of segregated Cu atoms. This means that the atomic segregation can be used to tune the structures of bimetallic clusters.

The elastic constants and the bulk modulus of six FCC monoatomic metals were calculated using molecular dynamics simulation as functions of temperature. In addition, the coefficients of linear thermal expansion were also calculated for all six metals. A fully functional 3D molecular dynamics code capable of simulating single crystals composed of one type of atom was written for this study. Eight different embedded-atom method (EAM) interatomic potential models were used to simulate the properties of the six metals. The elastic constants were calculated using fluctuation formulas which are functions of both potential energy, as well as the momentum of the particles in the system. It was found that the temperature dependence of elastic constants is not well exhibited by all EAM potentials. However, the eight EAM potentials presented in this study show results comparable to the values and trends of experimental data
