Molecular dynamics simulation of thermodynamical properties of copper clusters

The melting and freezing processes of Cu_N (N=180, 256, 360, 408, 500, 628 and 736) nanoclusters are simulated by using micro-canonical molecular dynamics simulation technique. The potential energies and the heat capacities as a function of temperature are obtained. The results reveal that the melting and freezing points increase almost linearly with the atom number in the cluster increasing. All copper nanoclusters have negative heat capacity around the melting and freezing points, and hysteresis effect in the melting/freezing transition is derived in Cu_N nanoclusters for the first time.     

Theoretical study of M6X2 and M6XX' structure (M = Au,Ag; X,X' = S,Se): Electronic and optical properties,ability of photocatalytic water splitting,and tunable properties under biaxial strain

MoS$_{2}$, a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC), has attracted significant amount of attention due to its direct bandgap, tunability and optical properties. Recently, a novel structure consisting of MoS$_{2}$ and noble metal nanoclusters has been reported. Inspired by this, first principle calculations are implemented to predict the structures of $M_{6}X_{2}$ and $M_{6}XX'$ ($M= {\rm Au}$, Ag; $X$, $X' ={\rm S}$, Se). The calculated bandgap, band edge position, and optical absorption of these structures prove that the silver compounds (Ag$_{6}X_{2 }$ and Ag$_{6}XX'$) have great potential for catalytic water splitting. In addition, biaxial strain (tensile strain and compressive strain) is applied to adjust the properties of these materials. The bandgap presents a quasi-linear trend with the increase of the applied strain. Moreover, the transition between the direct and indirect bandgap is found. The outstanding electronic and optical properties of these materials provide strong evidence for their application in microelectronic devices, photoelectric devices, and photocatalytic materials.

First-principles calculations for electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of ZnS

The electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of ZnS in the zinc-blende （ZB） and wurtzite （WZ） structures are investigated by using the plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory （DFT）. The results obtained are consistent with other theoretical results and the available experimental data. When the pressures are above 20.5 and 27 GPa, the ZB-ZnS and the WZ-ZnS are converted into indirect gap semiconductors, respectively. The critical point structure of the frequency-dependent complex dielectric function is investigated and analysed to identify the optical transitions. Moreover, the values of heat capacity Cv and Debye temperature θ at different pressures and different temperatures are also obtained successfully.     

First-principles investigations on elastic and thermodynamic properties of zinc-blende structure BeS

In this paper the elastic and thermodynamic properties of the cubic zinc-blende structure BeS at different pressures and temperatures are investigated by using \textit{ab initio} plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. It is found that the zinc-blende structure BeS should be unstable above 60GPa. The thermodynamic properties of the zinc-blende structure BeS are predicted by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The pressure-volume-temperature ($P-V-T$) relationship, the variations of the thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$ and the heat capacity $C_{V}$ with pressure $P$ and temperature $T$, as well as the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter-pressure-temperature ($\gamma -P-T$) relationship are obtained systematically in the ranges of 0--90GPa and 0--2000K.     

Structure and dynamics of graphite-supported bimetallic nanoclusters

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to analyze the structure and dynamics of isolated bimetallic nanoclusters of 343 (Cu-Ni) and 1000 atoms (Cu-Ni and Pt-Au) deposited on a graphite substrate. The metal-metal interactions are modeled with the many-body Sutton-Chen potential, and a Lennard-Jones potential is used to describe the metal-carbon interactions. The nanocluster melting temperature is determined from caloric and heat capacity curves, and the atomic distribution is studied layer-by-layer as a function of temperature in a direction perpendicular to the substrate plane. Changes in the nanocluster shape as temperature increases are monitored through deformation parameters that show clear evidence of structural and melting transitions as well as of atomic surface diffusion in the cluster. Dynamic properties such as atomic and whole-cluster diffusion, and the motion of the metal atoms at the interface metal/graphite are characterized as a function of temperature.     

Simulation of the processes of structuring of copper nanoclusters in terms of the tight-binding potential

The processes of melting and crystallization of copper nanoclusters with a radius ranging from 0.69 to 3.05 nm have been investigated using the molecular dynamics simulation. The performed simulation has shown that the melting begins with the surface of the cluster. Another feature of this phase transition is that it occurs in a temperature range where the liquid and solid phases can coexist. However, it is found that, for small copper clusters, the melting and crystallization temperatures coincide with each other. Moreover, it is established that the parent face-centered cubic structure of these small clusters (N < 150 atoms) transforms into a structure with fivefold symmetry even at temperatures of the order of 150–170 K. The behavior of some thermodynamic characteristics of copper nanoclusters is investigated in the vicinity of the solid-liquid phase transition. Analysis of the data obtained has revealed a number of regularities that are in agreement with the results of analytical calculations. In particular, the melting and crystallization temperatures of copper nanoparticles are linear functions of N ^?1/3. However, the melting heat ΔH _m and the melting entropy ΔS _m vary in a more complex manner. It is noted that the formation of a cluster structure depends on the conditions used for cooling from the liquid phase. Slow cooling results predominantly in the formation of a face-centered cubic phase, whereas rapid cooling in the majority of cases leads to the formation of an icosahedral modification. Therefore, the simulation performed has demonstrated the possibility of controlling the formation of a structure of copper nanoclusters during crystallization.
