ABSTRACTWe develop two and three-body classical interatomic potentials that model structural energies for silicon. These potentials provide a global fit to a database of firstprinciples calculations of the energy for bulk and surface silicon structures which spans a wide range of atomic coordinations and bonding geometries. This is accomplished using a new “separable” form for the 3-body potential that reduces the 3-body energy to a product of 2-body sums and leads to computations of the energy and atomic forces in n2 steps as opposed to n3 for a general 3-body potential. Simulated annealing is performed to find globally minimum energy states of Si-atom clusters with these potentials using a Langevin molecular dynamics approach.

We have simulated the gold deposition on arsenic and gallium terminated GaAs(001) surfaces at low and room temperatures. It has been found that gallium terminated surface is relatively less stable in comparison to the arsenic terminated surface. On the other hand, a single gold adatom on the surface has different characteristics than full coverage gold atoms on the surface; a single gold atom diffuses into the surface at room temperature. Simulations have been performed by considering classical molecular-dynamics technique using an empirical many-body potential energy function comprising two- and three-body atomic interactions.

AbstractWe discuss the implementation of classical molecular dynamics simulations on Single- Instruction Multiple-Data computers with two-dimensional mesh connectivity. Specific timing results are given for the MasPar MP-1, complemented by a general time complexity analysis. Our main interest is in simulations with a number of particles N that is comparable to the number of processors P. In particular, we discuss results for large Si-clusters with up to 2000 particles, using a Stillinger-Weber potential. Particular attention is paid to the problem of handling in an efficient way the calculation of the three-body potential and force.
