ABSTRACTLattice energy functions have been used to predict various properties. The energies and volumes of formation of alloy phases, as well as the relative stabilities of competing phases are provided by a model based on Mie type interatomic potentials. The elastic constants of alloy phases are treated using a model sensitive to the quadrupole distortion of a repulsion spheroid. The properties of defects are treated using a model based on both a volume dependent contribution and an interatomic potential contribution to the lattice energy. Good predictability is obtained for all three types of lattice energy functions in their respective applications.

There are significant efforts to develop continuum theories based on atomistic models. These atomistic-based continuum theories are limited to zero temperature (T=0K). We have developed a finite-temperature continuum theory based on interatomic potentials. The effect of finite temperature is accounted for via the local harmonic approximation, which relates the entropy to the vibration frequencies of the system, and the latter are determined from the interatomic potential. The focus of this theory is to establish the continuum constitutive model in terms of the interatomic potential and temperature. We have studied the temperature dependence of specific heat and coefficient of thermal expansion of graphene and diamond, and have found good agreements with the experimental data without any parameter fitting. We have also studied the temperature dependence of Young’s modulus and bifurcation strain of single-wall carbon nanotubes.

The main components of case-based reasoning are case retrieval and case reuse. While case retrieval mostly uses attribute comparisons, many other possibilities exist. The case similarity concepts described in the literature that are based on more elaborate structural properties are classified here into five groups: restricted geometric relationships; graphs; semantic nets; model-based similarities; hierarchically structured similarities. Some general topics conclude this survey on structure-based case retrieval methods and systems.

A controversy exists among literature reports of constraints on elastic constants. In particular, it has been reported that embedded atom method (EAM) potentials generally impose three constraints on elastic constants of crystals that are inconsistent with experiments. However, it can be shown that some EAM potentials do not impose such constraints at all. This paper first resolves this controversy by identifying the necessary condition when the constraints exist and demonstrating the condition is physically necessary. Furthermore, this paper reports that these three constraints are eliminated under all conditions, by using response EAM (R-EAM) potentials.

AbstractThe thermophysical properties of diamond, a metastable material at room temperature, are difficult to measure at high temperatures. These properties are of interest for testing equation of state and interatomic potential models. Here we utilize a geometrical lattice transformation, one dimensional lattice dynamical theory, and the principle of corresponding states to calculate the elastic constants of diamond over an extended temperature range.


In the previous paper of this series we derived expressions for the initial stress and the elastic constant tensor for a crystal in terms of the partial derivatives of the energy density with uniform strain or sublattice displacement. In this paper we shall develop these equations further by considering the most general form of interatomic potential energies.

AbstractInteratomic potentials of the Embedded Atom and Embedded Defect types were used to study the effect of the angular dependent term in the Embedded Defect potential on the properties of defects in TiAl. The defect properties were computed with interatomic potentials developed with and without angular dependent terms. It was found that the inclusion of the angular dependent terms tends to increase the energies of the APB’s and lower the energies of stacking faults. The effects of the angular term on the relaxation around vacancies and antisites in TiAl was also studied, as well as the core structure of several dislocations in this compound.

The effects of interatomic potentials in the equation of state of 4 He and other properties of the system are investigated. A multi-weight diffusion Monte Carlo method is applied in order to compute very small energies differences with great accuracy. From our analysis we identify the best current description for the helium systems.

ABSTRACTThe experimental fact that measured elastic and structural properties of superlattices are strongly correlated can be understood on the basis of a simple model based on the packing of hard spheres. The model is consistent with features of many models that have been proposed to explain the supermodulus effect, but contrary to previous explanations, it allows predictions for a given pair of constituents to be made. For an arbitrary pair of elements, it predicts the existence or non-existence of an elastic anomaly, and a rough estimate of its magnitude.
