ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations of glassy Ni81B19, starting with a configuration obtained by the Reverse Monte Carlo Method, indicate a calorimetrie glass transition at 960 K and point to a significant change in the atomic dynamics between 960 and 1200 K. Above this range, normal liquid-like behavior is found; at lower temperatures, we find a residual diffusivity and cooperative atomic Motion. Atomic jumps are processes smeared out in time and space over continuous rather than discrete scales.

The reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) technique has been used to generate atomic structures of amorphous carbon based on the radial distribution functions and the fraction of differently coordinated sites measured on experimental samples. The resulting structures have been subsequently relaxed via a Tight Binding Molecular Dynamics simulation (TBMD). The radial distribution function, the energy and the fraction of 2-, 3- and 4-fold coordinated sites, evaluated on the relaxed structures, have been compared to those calculated for atomic systems generated on the basis of the "conventional" numerical melt-quench technique. We thus suggest the possibility of using RMC modeling as a useful and convenient tool for generating amorphous structures to be used as initial configurations in Molecular Dynamics simulations.

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.
