Using molecular dynamics simulation and a newly developed COMB3 potential, the in-plane ordering and diffusion constant profiles at the homogeneous (100), (110), and (111) interfaces between solid and liquid Al have been examined. We found that the in-plane ordering characterized by 2-D density maps and 2-D structure factors existed in the first 6, 10, and 3 out-of-plane layers at the (100), (110), and (111) interfaces, respectively, showing a strong dependence on substrate orientation. In layers with in-plane ordering, the diffusion constant is greatly reduced relative to its value in the bulk liquid, while the influence of layers without in-plane ordering is negligible. The three diffusivity components turn out to be isotropic at the homogeneous interfaces. The Al-Al interfaces studied here will serve as an important reference in comparisons of the structure and properties of different solid-liquid interfaces, which will greatly support the design of grain refiners.

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 diffusion phenomena of thallous ions ( Tl + ions) through solid-liquid interface of liquid Tl + ions diffusion source and sodium chloride (NaCl) , potassium chloride (KCl) or rubidium chloride (RbCl) single crystals are studied by optical method. The characterisic absorption peaks of Tl + center in NaCl, KCl or RbCl single crystals were used as the tracer for measurements and the diffusion constants are evaluated at various temperatures. The results show that the diffusion constant of solid-liquid interface is about 103 times larger than that of solid-solid interface of KCl and TlCl .

Through solving an extended Fick’s diffusion equation for the solidification front of a paraboloid of revolution, a generalized Ivantsov function is obtained. The relaxation effect of nonequilibrium liquid diffusion is taken into account. The solute profile in the interfacial region and in the bulk liquid during steady-state dendritic solidification is uniquely determined. It is concluded that the consideration of the relaxation effect and the diffuse interface of finite thickness which decreases with increasing of velocities are necessary for achieving the good model predictions.

ABSTRACTNon-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics simulation methods have been used to study the trapping of “impurities” in an Ag5B15 Lennard-Jones alloy where the B atoms are 10% bigger in diameter than A. The observation of surface melting in this system is used to calculate an equilibrium interfacial segregation coefficient. Simulations of rapid melting and resolidification were performed for the (100) and (111) orientations at two different substrate temperatures (0.65 Tm and 0.95 Tm) for each orientation. Solute impurity atoms are shown to have been trapped at greater concentrations in the solid than under equilibrium conditions. Partitionless solidification is observed when the regrowth velocity greatly exceeds the diffusive velocity.

In this work, parallel molecular dynamics simulation is conducted to study the long-time (up to 2 ns) behavior of argon crystal in surface-nanostructuring with laser-assisted STM. A large system consisting of more than one hundred million atoms is explored. The study is focused on the solidification procedure after laser irradiation, which is driven by heat conduction in the material. Epitaxial re-growth is observed in the solidification. Atomic dislocation due to thermal strain-induced structural damages is observed as well in the epitaxial re-growth. During solidification, the liquid is featured with decaying normal compressive stresses and negligible shear stresses. Two functions are designed to capture the structure and distinguish the solid and liquid regions. These functions work well in terms of reflecting the crystallinity of the material and identifying the atomic dislocations. The study of the movement of the solid-liquid interface reveals an accelerating velocity in the order of 3~5 m/s. The spatial distribution of the solid-liquid interface velocity indicates a non-uniform epitaxial re-growth in space. The bottom of the liquid solidifies slower than that at the edge.
