金属钛中氦团簇生长行为的分子动力学研究

运用分子动力学方法模拟了常温下金属钛中氦团簇的生长过程.从能量的角度考察了氦团簇的生长机理.研究发现,随着氦团簇的生长,在氦团簇周围逐渐形成位错环缺陷,氦团簇与氦原子的结合能有逐渐下降的趋势,当氦团簇生长到一定尺寸时会通过发射周围缺陷以使得结合能上升,从而增强了进一步吸收氦原子的能力.模拟还发现,随着氦团簇的继续生长,氦团簇的形状由原来的不规则结构逐渐变成了较为规则的棱柱形结构,在随后的生长过程中其生长仅在（001）平面进行,沿［001］轴的厚度几乎不变. 关键词： 氦团簇 缺陷发射 分子动力学模拟

熔融Cu55团簇在铜块体中凝固过程的分子动力学模拟

应用基于嵌入原子势函数的分子动力学方法,模拟了嵌入在具有面心立方结构同质块体中的熔融Cu₅₅团簇在不同急冷温度下微观结构的演变情况.通过计算熔融Cu₅₅团簇的均方位移和原子平均能量随时间步的变化,并应用键对分析技术,分析了急冷温度对熔融Cu₅₅团簇结构变化的影响.研究结果表明,由于受到块体结构的影响,在所研究的急冷温度范围内,熔融Cu₅₅团簇在凝固过程中形成了以面心立方结构为主的微观结构.结晶过程是原子不断交换其位置的过程,团簇原子位置的重排敏感于温度的变化.随着急冷温度的升高,原子的扩散范围增大.在100,300和500 K三个较低的温度下有利于形成稳定的面心立方结构,但当急冷到100 K时,团簇中的原子在没有找到其最佳位置之前就已经完成晶化.在急冷到500 K时,团簇中的原子在块体中扩散充分,与块体中的原子形成理想的面心立方结构.在700,900和1100 K三个较高的温度上,局域结构表现为随时间步波动性变化. 关键词： 团簇 分子动力学 计算机模拟 凝固

Coalescence of Cluster Beam Generated Sub‐2 nm Bare Au Nanoparticles and Analysis of Au Film Growth Parameters

In this work is presented the growth model for Au films grown on a carbon substrate at room temperature by using as building blocks Au nanoparticles (NPs) with 1.4 nm mean size generated via remote cluster beam synthesis and soft landing on the substrate. The key results highlighted in this work are that 1) the deposited nanoparticles coalesce at substrate level in such a way that the film growth is 3D, 2) newly formed nanoparticles at substrate level are predominantly magic number clusters and 3) coalescensce takes place as soon as two neighboring nanopartciles come closer than a critical distance. The film growth was investigated by TEM as a function of Au load, in the range 0–1.2 μg/cm². Two distinct regimes are identified: the “landing regime” and the “coalescence regime”. During the latter the film growth is 3D with a dynamic scaling exponent z of 2.13. Particular attention was devoted to the study of the evolution of the NP population from the moment they are generated with the cluster beam generator to the moment they land on the substrate and coalesce with other NPs. Our results show that 1) the NPs generated by the cluster beam are heterogeneous in size and are made by more than 95% by Au Magic numbers, mainly Au₂₀ and Au₅₅ and 2) kinetic processes (coalescence) at substrate level is capable of producing NPs populations made of larger Au magic numbers containing up to several thousands of Au atoms. Experimental and simulation results provide insight into the coalescence mechanism and provide strong evidence that the NPs coalesce when the nearest neighbor distance is below a critical mark. The critical distance is at its minimum 0.4‐0.5 nm and it is still unclear whether it is constant or not although the best matching simulation results seem to point to a superlinear dependence from the NP size difference between two neighboring candidate coalescing NPs. The coalescence phenomenon investigated in this work pinpoints the unique self‐organization properties of these small Au NPs in creating films with a stable edge‐to‐edge mean nearest neighbor distance of the order of 1.4 nm.     

Self-diffusion dynamic behavior of atomic clusters on Re(0 0 0 1) surface

Using molecular dynamics simulations and a modified analytic embedded atom potential, the self-diffusion dynamics of rhenium atomic clusters up to seven atoms on Re(0 0 0 1) surface have been studied in the temperature ranges from 600 K to 1900 K. The simulation time varies from 20 ns to 200 ns according to the cluster sizes and the temperature. The heptamer and trimer are more stable comparing to other neighboring non-compact clusters. The diffusion coefficients of clusters are derived from the mean square displacement of cluster's mass-center, and diffusion prefactors D₀ and activation energies E_a are derived from the Arrhenius relation. It is found that the Arrhenius relation of the adatom can be divided into two parts at different temperature range. The activation energy of clusters increases with the increasing of the atom number in clusters. The prefactor of the heptamer is 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than a usual prefactor because of a large number of nonequivalent diffusion processes. The trimer and heptamer are the nuclei at different temperature range according to the nucleation theory.

Generation of intense and cold beam of Pt-Ag bi-element cluster ions having single-composition

An intense beam of bi-element Pt-Ag cluster ions with a single atomic-composition has been gained toward development of new-functional materials of the clusters fixed on a solid surface. Mass production of the bi-element cluster ions has been achieved by operating dual magnetron-sputtering devices independently in a gas aggregation cell, and the ions having a single composition are filtered out by passing through a quadrupole mass filter. The kinetic energies of the cluster ions have been reduced by collision with cold helium in order for low-energy cluster-impact deposition of the clusters on the surface. The cooling process was examined further by means of molecular-dynamics simulation.     

小尺寸铜团簇冷却与并合过程中结构变化的原子尺度研究

研究Cu_N（N=57,58,59）熔融铜团簇在冷却过程以及300 K时两个具有二十面体结构Cu₅₅团簇在并合过程中的结构变化.对这些小尺寸团簇的结构变化采用基于嵌入原子方法的正则系综分子动力学进行计算机模拟.通过对模拟结果的分析表明,小团簇的冷却和并合过程存在阶段变化的特点.降温过程中Cu_N（N=57,58,59）团簇的原子运动及其微观结构变化表现出较大差异,由此导致这三类团簇内原子排布的不同,其中Cu₅₉团簇结构的有序程度最低.在两个Cu₅₅团簇并合早期阶段,这两个团簇相接触后发生变形导致原子位置出现较大改变,在随后的并合过程中,原子扩散引起原子局部位置调整导致所并合体系的结构发生变化.远离两个团簇接触区的原子仍保持其并合前的结构. 关键词： 团簇 分子动力学 计算机模拟 表面     

What is the physics behind the 3He–4He anomaly?

A new coalescence algorithm has been included in the statistical approach to nuclear reactions formerly used to describe intermediate mass fragment production.
