Simulation of depositions of a Lennard-Jones cluster on a crystalline surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depositions of amorphous Lennard-Jones clusters on a crystalline surface are numerically investigated. From the results of the molecular dynamics simulation, we found that the deposited clusters exhibit a transition from multilayered adsorption to monolayered adsorption at a critical incident speed. Employing the energy conservation law, we can explain the behavior of the ratio of the number of atoms adsorbed on the substrate to the cluster size. The boundary shape of the deposited cluster depends strongly on the incident speed and some unstable modes grow during the spread of the deposited cluster on the substrate. We also discuss the wettability between different Lennard-Jones atoms.

In this thesis, we show the results of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the collisions between nanoscale objects such as (i) nanocluster depositions on a crystalline surface, (ii) nanocluster depositions on a free-standing graphene, and (iii) oblique impacts of two nanoclusters. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the mechanics of nanoscale objects and to explain the results of the m...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...
متن کاملThe Modified Lennard-Jones and Devonshire Equation of State
Lennard-Jones-Devonshire equation of state is an old but theoretical based EOS. The concept of the nearest neighboring molecules or coordination number is proposed to be a function of temperature and volume, whereas it is a constant in the original. The dilute gas and hard sphere limits of molecules are employed to determine this function. Improvement of this modification is demonstrated by pro...

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of Kob-Anderson binary Lennard-Jones (BLJ) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. The presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...
متن کاملTHE DENSITY PROFILES OF A LENNARD -JONES FLUID CONFINED TO A SLIT
The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...
