The Melting Lines of Model Systems Calculated from Coexistence Simulations
We have performed large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of coexisting solid and liquid phases using 4e(s/r) interactions for n59 and n512, and for Lennard-Jones systems, in order to calculate the equilibrium melting curve. The coexisting systems evolve rapidly toward the melting temperature. The P – T melting curves agree well with previous calculations, as do the other bulk phase properti...
متن کاملErad 2014 - the Eighth European Conference on Radar in Meteorology and Hydrology
The melting layer (ML) is a significant phenomenon in weather radar observations. It consists of initially frozen hydrometeors falling into air below the 0C isotherm (freezing level) where they start melting. The radar echoes from melting hydrometeors differ from those from rain droplets as well as from frozen hydrometeors, and ML is observed as the radar bright band. The ML is a complex atmosp...
متن کاملMelting of Mackay icosahedral gold clusters from molecular dynamics simulations
Molecular dynamics simulations show that liquid gold clusters with about 500 5000 atoms crystalize to a Mackay icosahedron upon a certain cooling procedure. Detailed surface analysis shows that the facets of the Mackay icosahedral gold clusters do not premelt, but that the surface softens below the bulk melting temperature. We owe this softening to the increasing mobility of vertex and edge ato...
متن کاملMelting of icosahedral gold nanoclusters from molecular dynamics simulations.
Molecular dynamics simulations show that gold clusters with about 600-3000 atoms crystallize into a Mackay icosahedron upon cooling from the liquid. A detailed surface analysis shows that the facets on the surface of the Mackay icosahedral gold clusters soften but do not premelt below the bulk melting temperature. This softening is found to be due to the increasing mobility of vertex and edge a...
متن کاملThe melting curve of MgO from first principles simulations
First principles calculations based on density functional theory, both with the local density approximation (LDA) and with generalised gradient corrections (GGA), and the projector augmented wave method, have been used to simulate solid and liquid MgO in direct coexistence in the range of pressure 0 ≤ p ≤ 135 GPa. The calculated LDA zero pressure melting temperature is T m = 3110 ± 50 K, in goo...
