Daily Lives

Combustion is a kind of important reaction that affects people's daily lives and the development of aerospace. Exploring the reaction mechanism contributes to the understanding of combustion and the more efficient use of fuels. Ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) calculation is precise but limited by its computational time for large-scale systems. In order to carry out reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for combustion accurately and quickly, we develop the MFCC-combustion method in this study, which calculates the interaction between atoms using QM method at the level of MN15/6-31G(d). Each molecule in systems is treated as a fragment, and when the distance between any two atoms in different molecules is greater than 3.5 Å, a new fragment involved two molecules is produced in order to consider the two-body interaction. The deviations of MFCC-combustion from full system calculations are within a few kcal/mol, and the result clearly shows that the calculated energies of the different systems using MFCC-combustion are close to converging after the distance thresholds are larger than 3.5 Å for the two-body QM interactions. The methane combustion was studied with the MFCC-combustion method to explore the combustion mechanism of the methane-oxygen system.

Underlying Mechanisms

Restructuring of interface plays a crucial role in materials science and heterogeneous catalysis. Bimetallic systems, in particular, often adopt very different composition and morphology at surfaces compared to the bulk. For the first time, we reveal a detailed atomistic picture of the long-timescale restructuring of Pd deposited on Ag, using microscopy, spectroscopy, and novel simulation methods. Encapsulation of Pd by Ag always precedes layer-by-layer dissolution of Pd, resulting in significant Ag migration out of the surface and extensive vacancy pits. These metastable structures are of vital catalytic importance, as Ag-encapsulated Pd remains much more accessible to reactants than bulk-dissolved Pd. The underlying mechanisms are uncovered by performing fast and large-scale machine-learning molecular dynamics, followed by our newly developed method for complete characterization of atomic surface restructuring events. Our approach is broadly applicable to other multimetallic systems of interest and enables the previously impractical mechanistic investigation of restructuring dynamics.

AbstractLarge scale computation by molecular dynamics (MD) method is often challenging or even impractical due to its computational cost, in spite of its wide applications in a variety of fields. Although the recent advancement in parallel computing and introduction of coarse-graining methods have enabled large scale calculations, macroscopic analyses are still not realizable. Here, we present renormalized molecular dynamics (RMD), a renormalization group of MD in thermal equilibrium derived by using the Migdal–Kadanoff approximation. The RMD method improves the computational efficiency drastically while retaining the advantage of MD. The computational efficiency is improved by a factor of $$2^{n(D+1)}$$ 2 n ( D + 1 ) over conventional MD where D is the spatial dimension and n is the number of applied renormalization transforms. We verify RMD by conducting two simulations; melting of an aluminum slab and collision of aluminum spheres. Both problems show that the expectation values of physical quantities are in good agreement after the renormalization, whereas the consumption time is reduced as expected. To observe behavior of RMD near the critical point, the critical exponent of the Lennard-Jones potential is extracted by calculating specific heat on the mesoscale. The critical exponent is obtained as $$\nu =0.63\pm 0.01$$ ν = 0.63 ± 0.01 . In addition, the renormalization group of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is derived. Renormalized DPD is equivalent to RMD in isothermal systems under the condition such that Deborah number $$De\ll 1$$ D e ≪ 1 .

Sputtering Yields

The sputtering of graphite due to the bombardment of hydrogen isotopes is crucial to successfully using graphite in the fusion environment. In this work, we use molecular dynamics to simulate the sputtering using the large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (lammps). The calculation results show that the peak values of the sputtering yield are between 25 eV and 50 eV. When the incident energy is greater than the energy corresponding to the peak value, a lower carbon sputtering yield is obtained. The temperature that is most likely to sputter is approximately 800 K for hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium. Below the 800 K, the sputtering yields increase with temperature. By contrast, above the 800 K, the yields decrease with increasing temperature. Under the same temperature and incident energy, the sputtering rate of tritium is greater than that of deuterium, which in turn is greater than that of hydrogen. When the incident energy is 25 eV, the sputtering yield at 300 K increases below an incident angle at 30 deg and remains steady after that.
