ABSTRACTThe thermodynamicaL and structural behavior of a (110) face of a (12–6) Lennard-Jones fcc solid has been investigated by MoLecuLar Dynamics computer simulation on the solid-gas coexistence Line up to a temperature T= 0.94 TM (TM: melting point). We have found evidence for cooperative defect production on free surfaces which Leads to a structural transitiDn above T≈0.7 TM. This transition is studied using as an order parameter the excess energy for surface Layers due to missing bonds parallel to the surface with respect to the bulk. Furthermore we report the vaLues of the mean square displacement for surface and bulk atoms as a function of temperature. Despite their high values at the surface, surface Layers are not molten but only highly disordered above the transition temperature.

Multicanonical molecular dynamics simulations are applied, for the first time, to study the liquid-solid and solid-solid transitions in Lennard-Jones (LJ) clusters. The transition temperatures are estimated based on the peak position in the heat capacity versus temperature curve. For LJ31, LJ58 and LJ98, our results on the solid-solid transition temperature are in good agreement with previous ones. For LJ309, the predicted liquid-solid transition temperature is also in agreement with previous result.

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations of nickel and carbon have been used to study the phenomena due to ion impact. The nickel and carbon interactions were described using the Lennard-Jones and Stillinger-Weber potentials respectively. The phenomena occurring after the impact of 100 e V to 1 keV ions were studied in the nickel simulations, which were both two and three-dimensional. Supersonic focussed collision sequences (or focusons) were observed, and associated with these focusons were unexpected sonic bow waves, which were a major energy loss mechanism for the focuson. A number of 2D carbon films were grown and the stress in the films as a function of incident ion energy was Measured. With increasing energy the stress changed from tensile to compressive and reached a maximum around 50 eV, in agreement with experiment.
