No evidence for size-dependent icosahedral --> fcc structural transition in rare-gas clusters.
A structural model for a 3000-atom Ar cluster has been developed whose simulated electrondiffraction pattern is in excellent agreement with hitherto unexplained experimental results [J. Farges et al., J. Chem. Phys. 59, 3454 (1973)]. Although the cluster size is intermediate with respect to the icosahedral and fcc crystalline regimes, the model does not involve a structural transition. It consi...
متن کاملWatching structure formation in real time
Structure formation processes, including crystallization and growth as the most obvious examples, are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Importantly, for their understanding it is not sufficient to study the minimum of the free energy, but non-equilibrium issues need to be considered. This is a challenge for both theory and experiment, in particular for many modern materials, which are rather...
متن کاملShear moduli in bcc-fcc structure transition of colloidal crystals.
Shear moduli variation in the metastable-stable structure transition of charged colloidal crystals was investigated by the combination techniques of torsional resonance spectroscopy and reflection spectrometer. Modulus of the system increases with the proceeding of the transition process and it finally reaches the maximum value at the end of the transition. For colloidal crystals in stable stat...
متن کاملFormation of an icosahedral structure during the freezing of gold nanoclusters: surface-induced mechanism.
The freezing behavior of gold nanoclusters was studied by employing molecular dynamics simulations based on the semiempirical embedded-atom method. Investigations of the gold nanoclusters revealed that, just after freezing, ordered nanosurfaces with a fivefold symmetry were formed with interior atoms remaining in the disordered state. Further lowering of temperatures induced nanocrystallization...
متن کاملTransition from icosahedral to decahedral structure in a coexisting solid-liquid nickel cluster.
We have used molecular dynamics simulations to construct a microcanonical caloric curve for a 1415 atom Ni icosahedron. Prior to melting, the Ni cluster exhibits static solid-liquid phase coexistence. Initially, a partial icosahedral structure coexists with a partially wetting melt. However, at energies very close to the melting point the icosahedral structure is replaced by a truncated decahed...
