Atomistic Study of Structural Correlations at a Liquid-Solid Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural correlations at a liquid-solid interface were explored with molecular dynamics simulations of a model aluminium system using the Ercolessi-Adams potential and up to 4320 atoms. Substrate atoms were pinned to their equilibrium crystalline positions while liquid atoms were free to move. The density profile at the interface was investigated for different substrate crystallographic orientations and temperatures. An exponential decay of the density profile was observed, ρ(z) ∼ e−κz, leading to the definition of κ as a quantitative measure of the ordering at the liquid solid interface. A direct correlation between the amount of ordering in the liquid phase and the underlying substrate orientation was found.

Investigation of Vacancy Defects on the Young’s Modulus of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites in Axial Direction via a Multiscale Modeling Approach
In this article, the influence of various vacancy defects on the Young’s modulus of carbon nanotube (CNT) - reinforcement polymer composite in the axial direction is investigated via a structural model in ANSYS software. Their high strength can be affected by the presence of defects in the nanotubes used as reinforcements in practical nanocomposites. Molecular structural mechanics (MSM)/finite ...
متن کاملHybrid atomistic-macroscale modeling of long-time phase change in nanosecond laser–material interaction
In this work, large-scale hybrid atomistic-macroscale simulation is performed to study the long-time material behavior in nanosecond laser–material interaction. Different phase change phenomena are studied, including solid–liquid interface speed, temperature, maximummelting depth, and ablation rate. Full solidification/epitaxial re-growth is observed within 60 ns for the laser fluence of 5 J/m....
متن کاملA theory for time-dependent solvation structure near solid-liquid interface.
We propose a theory to describe time-dependent solvation structure near solid-liquid interface. Recently, we have developed two-dimensional-reference interaction site model to describe solvation structure near solid-liquid interface at the equilibrium state. In the present study, the theory is extended to treat dynamical aspect of the solvation; site-site Smoluchowski-Vlasov equation and surrog...
متن کاملWave Reflection and Refraction at the Interface of Triclinic and Liquid Medium
A Mathematical model has been considered to study the reflection and refraction phenomenon of plane wave at the interface of an isotropic liquid medium and a triclinic (anisotropic) half-space. The incident plane qP wave generates three types of reflected waves namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves in the tric...
متن کاملAtomistic simulation of structure and dynamics of columnar phases of hexabenzocoronene derivatives.
Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations we study solid and liquid crystalline columnar discotic phases formed by alkyl-substituted hexabenzocoronene mesogens. Correlations between the molecular structure, packing, and dynamical properties of these materials are established.
