In the paper, molecular dynamics simulation with the modified analytical embedded atom method (MAEAM) is applied to study the size effect on the elastic properties of the B 2- NiAl nanofilm. The simulation results indicate that there is a critical thickness, which is about 5.38 nm, to distinguish the size dependence of the elastic properties of the nanofilm. On the one hand, these properties, such as the averaged cohesive energy and the bulk modulus, change evidently as the size is smaller than the critical thickness and the change tendency is tightly controlled by the surface atom composition. On the other hand, as the nanofilm size exceeds the critical one, the calculated values of the elastic properties are almost independent of the film thickness. Relatively, the bulk modulus magnitude of the nanofilm is apparently larger than that of the corresponding bulk material. Finally, the inherent mechanisms of the size impacting on the elastic properties of the B 2- NiAl nanofilm have been discussed in more detail. The strengthening effect of the bulk modulus results from the smaller multilayer relaxation of the interlayer distance as compared to those of the bulk materials.

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.

Face Centered

Molecular dynamics simulation of the solidification behavior of liquid nickel nanowires has been carried out based on the embedded atom potential with different cooling rates. The nanowires constructed with a face-centered cubic structure and a one-dimensional (1D) periodical boundary condition along the wire axis direction. It is found that the final structure of Ni nanowires strongly depend on the cooling rates during solidification from liquid. With decreasing cooling rates the final structure of the nanowires varies from amorphous to crystalline via helical multi-shelled structure.

Β Relaxation

Relaxation and local structure changes of a molten Cu135 cluster have been studied by molecular dynamics simulation using embedded atom method when the cluster is rapidly quenched to 700K, 600K, 500K, 400K, 300K, 200K, and 100K. With decreasing quenching temperature, details of energy evolvement and relaxation are analyzed. The simulation results show that the final structures are molten at 700K, like-icosahedral geometry at 600K-200K, non-crystal at 100K. The average energy of atoms is the lowest at 500K, and in the relaxation has abrupt increase at 25,135 and 42ps separately at 400K, 300K, and 200K. The simulation reveals that the quenching temperature has great affect on the relaxation processes of the Cu135 cluster after β relaxation region.
