Melting behaviors of icosahedral metal clusters studied by Monte Carlo simulations
We present an atom-resolved analysis method that traces physical quantities such as the root-mean-square bond length fluctuation and coordination number for individual atoms as functions of temperature or time. This method is applied to explain the temperature-dependent behaviors of three types of NiN (N = 12, 13, 14) clusters. The detailed studies for the three types of clusters reveal charact...
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 and freezing of metal clusters.
Recent developments allow heat capacities to be measured for size-selected clusters isolated in the gas phase. For clusters with tens to hundreds of atoms, the heat capacities determined as a function of temperature usually have a single peak attributed to a melting transition. The melting temperatures and latent heats show large size-dependent fluctuations. In some cases, the melting temperatu...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Investigation of Differences in Melting Behaviors of Cu57 and Cu58 Clusters
Within the framework of the embedded-atom method, we performed molecular-dynamics calculations to investigate the structural transformation during melting of two copper clusters containing 57 and 58 atoms. The simulation results reveal how their different structural changes can strongly influence internal energy and radial distribution functions. The local structural patterns of different regio...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...
