Embedded Atom Method Potential

The computer simulation of the structural evolutions of Al nanowires on cooling has been carried out based on the embedded atom method potential. The infinite Al nanowire was modeled by super-cell with a one-dimensionally periodical boundary condition along the [001] direction. The simulation results indicate that the microstructure of Al nanowires changed from amorphous to helical multi-shelled structure along with the drops of cooling rate. The helical multi-shelled structure possesses some features of amorphous structure, but it is more stable than the later. Moreover, the Al nanowires still keep the helical multi-shelled structure even if the cooling rate decreased to 1010 K/s.

ABSTRACTDissociation of the ao<110> screw dislocation in Ni3Al was studied using the embedded atom method of computer simulation. The dissociation occurred predominantly along the {111} plane, however, a {001}-plane step occurred in the APB at the center of the configuration. When a pair of ao/2<110> superpartials initially separated in the {111} plane was relaxed, the step formed once again but with a reduced height. When the pair was relaxed from larger distances the step was not formed. The results indicate that the elastic interaction “torque” due to elastic anisotropy is responsible for the formation of the {001} APB step. When a stress was applied to these dislocation configurations by simulation, results confirmed that the step in the APB and the octahedral cross-slipped-core dissociations can be significant barriers to glide of the screw dislocation.

AbstractAtomistic configuration and motion of dislocation have been simulated by means of molecular dynamics method. The embedded atom method potential for copper is adopted in the simulation. Model crystal is a rectangular solid containing about 140,000 atoms. An edge dislocation is introduced along [112] direction near the center of model crystal, and the system is relaxed. After the dislocation configuration is stabilized, a shear stress is applied and released. Wavy motion of dislocation is developed on the Peierls valleys when the free boundary condition is adopted. Motion of pinned dislocation is also simulated.

Embedded Atom Method Potential

Palladium hydrides have important applications. However, the complex Pd–H alloy system presents a formidable challenge to developing accurate computational models. In particular, the separation of a Pd–H system to dilute (α) and concentrated (β) phases is a central phenomenon, but the capability of interatomic potentials to display this phase miscibility gap has been lacking. We have extended an existing palladium embedded-atom method potential to construct a new Pd–H embedded-atom method potential by normalizing the elemental embedding energy and electron density functions. The developed Pd–H potential reasonably well predicts the lattice constants, cohesive energies, and elastic constants for palladium, hydrogen, and PdHx phases with a variety of compositions. It ensures the correct hydrogen interstitial sites within the hydrides and predicts the phase miscibility gap. Preliminary molecular dynamics simulations using this potential show the correct phase stability, hydrogen diffusion mechanism, and mechanical response of the Pd–H system.

Pair Analysis

In this work, the segregation and structural transitions of CoNi clusters, between 1500 and 300 K, have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with the embedded atom method potential. The radial distribution function was used to analyze the segregation during the cooling processes. It is found that Co atoms segregate to the inside and Ni atoms preferably to the surface during the cooling processes, the Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] cluster becomes a core–shell structure. We discuss the structural transition according to the pair-correction function and pair-analysis technique, and finally the liquid Co[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text] crystallizes into the coexistence of hcp and fcc structure at 300 K. At the same time, it is found that the frozen structure of CoNi cluster is strongly related to the Co concentration.
