A molecular dynamics simulation based on the embedded-atom method was conducted at different sizes of single-crystal Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 4 to 20 nm to find complete melting and surface premelting points. ...

We present a model system that might serve as a blueprint for the controlled layout of graphene based nanodevices. The systems consists of chains of B-7 clusters implanted in a graphene matrix, where the boron clusters are ...

Sintering of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) is increasingly being used as a driving mechanism for joining in the microelectronics industry. We therefore performed molecular dynamics simulations based on the embedded atom method ...

Parallel molecular dynamics simulation study of the ion-surface collision system is reported. A sequential molecular dynamics simulation program is converted into a parallel code utilizing the concept of parallel virtual ...

An Ar+-Ni(1 0 0) collision system at 1 keV impact energy was investigated by using realistic isoenergetic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The sputtering process upon Ar+ ion impact and damage to the Ni(1 0 0) surface ...
