Zr纳米粒子内HCP-BCC堆积结构转变的分子动力学模拟

本文采用基于嵌入原子势的分子动力学方法模拟了不同粒径的Zr纳米粒子在升温过程中HCP-BCC结构转变的路径。通过对粒子在升温过程中的势能差分曲线的计算,分别确定了小粒径、较大粒径和大粒径粒子的结构转变温度区间,并使用二分法进一步确定了转变温度点。然后借助对结构转变温度点处的形状因子、键对占比和原子堆积结构随弛豫时间的变化的模拟计算,确定了驰豫过程中堆积结构的演变过程。计算结果表明,小粒径粒子存在着多个结构转变温度点,并会在较低的结构转变温度点处出现多结构共存现象,其驰豫过程就是不同结构间相互竞争的过程。随着粒径的增大,在较高温度点处虽然仍会出现多结构共存,但粒子内的大部分原子堆积为BCC结构,并且在大粒径粒子内会出现明显的界面区。

铁的冲击相变机制的分子动力学研究

 用分子动力学方法模拟计算了在冲击波加载条件下,单晶铁中的结构相变（由体心立方结构α相到六角密排结构ε相）,相互作用势采用铁的嵌入式原子势（EAM）,单晶铁样品的尺寸为28.7 nm×22.9 nm×22.9 nm,总原子数为1.28×10⁶个。通过推动一个运动活塞对静止靶的作用来产生冲击压缩,加载方向沿单晶铁的[100]晶向。通过对原子位置的追踪,揭示了铁的冲击相变机制,计算结果表明相变机制包括两步：首先是在{011}面上的原子受到沿〈100〉晶向的压缩,使{011}面转化成正六角形密排面;然后是在{011}面上原子沿〈0-11〉晶向的滑移,完成由bcc结构到hcp结构的相变。同时发现滑移面只出现在与冲击波加载方向平行的(011)和(0-11)面上。

Thermally activated phase transitions in Fe-Ni core-shell nanoparticles

Fe-Ni core-shell nanoparticles are versatile functional materials, and their thermal stabilities are crucial for their performances in operating conditions. In this study, the thermodynamic behaviors of Fe-Ni core-shell nanoparticles are examined under continuous heating. The solid–solid phase transition from body centered cubic (bcc) to face centered cubic (fcc) in the Fe core is identified. The transition is accompanied with the generation of stacking faults around the core-shell interface, which notably lowers the melting points of the Fe-Ni core-shell nanoparticles and causes even worse thermal stability compared with Ni ones. Moreover, the temperature of the structural transformation is shown to be tuned by modifying the Ni shell thickness. Finally, the stress distributions of the core and the shell are also explored. The relevant results could be helpful for the design, preparation, and utilization of Fe-based nanomaterials.     

Orientation dependence of structural transition in fcc Al driven under uniaxial compression by atomistic simulations

By molecular dynamics simulations employing an embedded atom method potential,we have investigated structural transformations in single crystal Al caused by uniaxial strain loading along the [001],[011] and [111] directions. We find that the structural transition is strongly dependent on the crystal orientations. The entire structure phase transition only occurs when loading along the [001] direction,and the increased amplitude of temperature for [001] loading is evidently lower than that for other orientations. The morphology evolutions of the structural transition for [011] and [111] loadings are analysed in detail. The results indicate that only 20% of atoms transit to the hcp phase for [011] and [111] loadings,and the appearance of the hcp phase is due to the partial dislocation moving forward on {111} fcc family. For [011] loading,the hcp phase grows to form laminar morphology in four planes,which belong to the {111} fcc family; while for [111] loading,the hcp phase grows into a laminar structure in three planes,which belong to the {111} fcc family except for the (111) plane. In addition,the phase transition is evaluated by using the radial distribution functions.     

Molecular dynamics simulations of phase transition of n-nonadecane under high pressure

The phase transition behavior of n-nonadecane under high pressure was investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations method. A simplified model with amorphous structure and periodic boundary conditions in constant-temperature, constant-pressure ensemble was used in this study. The results showed that the whirling and molecules motion of n-nonadecane chains were restrained by the high pressure. The simulated phase transition temperature of n-nonadecane under high pressure is higher than that under atmospheric pressure. The order parameter of n-nonadecane decreases with the increase in temperature. The simulations reveal that MD is an effective method to understand the phase transition of alkane-based phase change materials on molecular and atomic scale.     

Molecular dynamics simulations on the melting of gold nanoparticles

Molecular dynamics is employed to study the melting of bulk gold and gold nanoparticles. PCFF, Sutton-Chen and COMPASS force fields are adopted to study the melting point of bulk gold and we find out that the Sutton-Chen force field is the most accurate model in predicting the melting point of bulk gold. Consequently, the Sutton-Chen force field is applied to study the melting points of spherical gold nanoparticles with different diameters. Variations of diffusion coefficient, potential energy and translational order parameter with temperature are analyzed. The simulated melting points of gold nanoparticles are between 615～1115 K, which are much lower than that of bulk gold (1336 K). As the diameter of gold nanoparticle drops, the melting point also descends. The melting mechanism is also analyzed for gold nanoparticles.     

Phase transition in a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet based on the generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics

At zero temperature, based on the Ising model, the phase transition in a two-dimensional square lattice is studied using the generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics. Using Monte Carlo （MC） renormalization group methods, the static critical exponents and the dynamic exponent are studied; the type of phase transition is found to be of the first order.     

Structure and phase transition of a two—dimensional dusty plasma

The structure and phase transition of a two-dimensional (2D) dusty plasma have been investigated in detail bymolecular dynamics simulation. Pair correlation function, static structure factor, mean square displacement, and bondangle correlation function have been calculated to characterize the structural properties. The variation of internalenergy, shear modulus, particle trajectories and structural properties with temperature has been monitored to studythe phase transition of the 2D dusty plasma system. The simulation results are in favour of a two-step continuoustransition for this kind of plasma.     

冲击加载下孔洞贯通的微观机理研究

利用分子动力学方法计算模拟了沿〈100〉晶向冲击加载下单晶铜中双孔洞的贯通过程.发现孔洞周围发射剪切型位错环是孔洞塌缩和增长的原因.在拉伸阶段,孔洞首先分别独立增长,随后其周围塑性变形区开始交叠和相互作用,最后两个孔洞开始直接贯通.这种贯通模式和实验对延性材料中孔洞贯通过程的显微观察结果一致.对四种不同θ值（θ为两个孔洞中心连线与冲击加载方向之间的夹角）的模型分别进行了计算模拟,发现在相同的冲击加载强度下,θ＝0°和θ＝30°的孔洞之间没有相互贯通; 关键词： 纳米孔洞 分子动力学 冲击加载 贯通
