An embedded-atom-method model for alkali-metal vibrations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an embedded-atom-method (EAM) model that accurately describes the vibrational dynamics in the alkali metals Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs. The bulk dispersion curves, frequency-moment Debye temperatures and temperature-dependent entropy Debye temperatures are all in excellent agreement with experimental results. The model is also well suited for studying surface vibrational dynamics in these materials, as illustrated by calculations for the Na(110) surface.

Entropy Content During Nanometric Stick-Slip Motion
To explore the existence of self-organization during friction, this paper considers the motion of all atoms in a systems consisting of an Atomic Force Microscope metal tip sliding on a metal slab. The tip and the slab are set in relative motion with constant velocity. The vibrations of individual atoms with respect to that relative motion are obtained explicitly using Molecular Dynamics with Em...
متن کاملAlkali - metal ion in rare gas clusters : global minima 1
Structural optimization for heteronuclear clusters consisting of one alkali-metal ion and of up to 79 neutral rare gas atoms has been carried out. The basin-hopping Monte Carlo minimization method of Wales and Doye is used. Rare gas atoms interact with the Lennard–Jones potential, whereas the interaction between a neutral atom and an ion impurity is given by the Mason–Schamp potential. Starting...
متن کاملA charge transfer ionic–embedded atom method potential for the O–Al–Ni–Co–Fe system
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) require the growth of a thin (∼20 Å) dielectric metal oxide layer, such as Al2O3, on a ferromagnetic metal layer, such as Co, CoFe, or CoNiFe. The atomic assembly mechanisms that combine to form a uniformly thin metal oxide layer on these metal surfaces are not well understood. The application of molecular dynamics simulations to the growth of metal and metal ox...
متن کاملSurface Core-Level Phonon Broadening of Li(110)
High-resolution core-level photoemission data from the 1s level of Li~110! have been obtained between 77 and 280 K. Analysis of the data reveals a significant difference in the zero-temperature phonon broadening between the bulk and surface atoms but only a small difference in the effective surface and bulk Debye temperatures. This latter result is in good agreement with an embedded-atom-method...
متن کاملThe Effect of Alkali Metal Promoters on the Stability and Coke Formation of Platinum-Based Propane Dehydrogenation Catalysts: A Kinetic Study
The kinetics of catalyst deactivation and coke formation during dehydrogenation of propane over supported Pt–based catalysts and, in particular, the effect of alkali metal promoters on catalyst activity and stability were studied. The analysis of propane conversion data showed that there is an optimum level of alkali metal promoter loading for both catalyst activity and stability.A model ba...
