Abstract Motion of edge dislocation in copper crystals is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The embedded atom method potential was used in the simulation. Configuration and motion of dislocations are graphically demonstrated in 3-dimentional model. Change of mean potential energy during the dislocation motion is also investigated.

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.

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 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.

Morphology and mechanical resonse of copper nanoparticles with defects have been simulated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The embedded atom method potential for copper was used to express the interaction of atoms. Four types of model samples were prepared and about 37,000 atoms were contained in each sample. Two of them are cubic shape with {100} surfaces, in which vacancies or interstitials are introduced. The other two samples are once melted and solidified particles with nearly spherical surfaces. The atomic structure is controlled by cooling rate, and crystalline and amorphous structures are realized. Shear and tetragonal strains are applied to the samples and stress-strain relations for the samples are derived. Mechanical damping and internal friction were evaluated from the free decaying oscillations by releasing static strains.

ABSTRACTThe initial periods of deposition process of metal clusters in the soft-landing regime are investigated by the molecular-dynamics simulation. The embedded-atom method potential is adopted for calculation of the interaction between metallic atoms. The predictor-corrector method for second-order differential equations is employed for integration of the equations of motion. A simulation begins with equilibration of clusters and a substrate at a specified temperature. The lowest atomic layer in the substrate is fixed and the next few atomic layers are set to be velocity-scaling layers during the deposition process. The periodic boundary conditions are imposed in the horizontal directions. A single cluster with no velocity is deposited on the substrate. The simulations are performed at different temperatures of the clusters and substrate and for different sizes of clusters. How the morphological transition of the deposited nanostructures is affected by these parameters is discussed.
