We report the dynamic crossover behavior in metallic glass nanoparticles(MGNs)with the size reduction based on the extensive molecular dynamics(MD)simulations combined with the activation-relaxation technique(ART).The fragile-to-strong transition of dynamics can be achieved by just modulating the characteristic size of MGNs.It can be attributed to the abnormal fast surface dynamics enhanced by the surface curvature.By determining the potential energy surface,we reveal the hierarchy-to-flat transition of potential energy landscape(PEL)in MGNs,and demonstrate the intrinsic flat potential landscape feature of the MGN with size smaller than a critical size.Our results provide an important piece of the puzzle about the size-modulated potential energy landscape and shed some lights on the unique properties of MGs in nanoscale. 相似文献

An inhomogeneous 2-dimensional recursive lattice formed by planar elements has been designed to investigate the thermodynamics of Ising spin system on the surface/thin film. The lattice is constructed as a hybrid of partial Husimi square lattice representing the bulk and 1D single bonds representing the surface. Exact calculations can be achieved with the recursive property of the lattice. The model has an anti-ferromagnetic interaction to give rise to an ordered phase identified as crystal, and a solution with higher energy to represent the amorphous/metastable phase.Free energy and entropy of the ideal crystal and supercooled liquid state of the model on the surface are calculated by the partial partition function. By analyzing the free energies and entropies of the crystal and supercooled liquid state,we are able to identify the melting and ideal glass transition on the surface. The results show that due to the variation of coordination number, the transition temperatures on the surface decrease significantly compared to the bulk system.Our calculation qualitatively agrees with both experimental and simulation works on the thermodynamics of surfaces and thin films conducted by others. Interactions between particles farther than the nearest neighbor distance are taken into consideration, and their effects are investigated. 相似文献

Two types of recursive lattices with the identical coordination number but different unit cells (2-D square and 3-D cube) are constructed and the antiferromagnetic Ising model is solved exactly on them to study the stable and metastable states. A multi-branched structure of the 2-D plaquette model, which we introduced in this work, makes it possible to be an analog to the cubic lattice. Two solutions of each model can be found to exhibit the crystallization of liquid, and the ideal glass transition of supercooled liquid respectively. Based on the solutions, the thermodynamics on both lattices, e.g. the free energy, energy density, and entropy of the supercooled liquid, crystal, and liquid state of the model are calculated and compared with each other. Interactions between particles farther away than the nearest neighbor distance and multi-spins interactions are taken into consideration, and their effects on the thermal behavior are examined. The two lattices show comparable properties on the thermodynamics, which proves that both of them are practical to describe the regular 3-D case, especially to locate the ideal glass transition, while the 2-D multi-branched plaquette model is less accurate with the advantage of simpler formulation and less computation time consumption. 相似文献

Using the Wang-Landau flat histogram Monte Carlo (FHMC) simulation technique, we were able to study two types of triangulated
spherical surface models in which the two-dimensional extrinsic curvature energy is assumed in the Hamiltonian. The Gaussian
bond potential is also included in the Hamiltonian of the first model, but it is replaced by a hard-wall potential in the
second model. The results presented in this paper are in good agreement with the results previously reported by our group.
The transition of surface fluctuations and collapsing transition were studied using the canonical Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation
technique and were found to be of the first-order. The results obtained in this paper also show that the FHMC technique can
be successfully applied to triangulated surface models. It is non-trivial whether the technique is applicable or not to surface
models because the simulations are performed on relatively large surfaces. 相似文献

A transition to a new, presumably unstable, state of a two-dimensional (2D) electron crystal above liquid helium has been
discovered at temperatures well below the melting point. The transition is manifested as an abrupt increase in the active
component of the inverse conductivity of the crystal with a decrease in the potential pressing of the electrons to the surface.
The state can be destroyed by the in-plane electric field of a sufficiently high amplitude. The new state is supposed to be
a 2D electron glass. 相似文献

We investigate the QCD ghost model of dark energy in the framework of Brans-Dicke cosmology. First, we study the non-interacting ghost dark energy in a flat Brans-Dicke theory. In this case we obtain the equation of state and the deceleration parameters and a differential equation governing the evolution of ghost energy density. Interestingly enough, we find that the equation of state parameter of the non-interacting ghost dark energy can cross the phantom line (wD=−1) provided the parameters of the model are chosen suitably. Then, we generalize the study to the interacting ghost dark energy in both flat and non-flat Brans-Dicke framework and find out that the transition of wD to phantom regime can be more easily achieved for than when resort to the Einstein field equations is made. 相似文献

The Hessian of either the entropy or the energy function can be regarded as a metric on a Gibbs surface. For two parameter families of asymptotically flat black holes in arbitrary dimension one or the other of these metrics are flat, and the state space is a flat wedge. The mathematical reason for this is traced back to the scale invariance of the Einstein–Maxwell equations. The picture of state space that we obtain makes some properties such as the occurence of divergent specific heats transparent.Supported by VR. 相似文献

Glass formation in simple monatomic nanoparticles has been studied by
molecular dynamics simulations in spherical model with a free surface.
Models have been obtained by cooling from the melt toward glassy state.
Atomic mechanism of glass formation was monitored via spatio-temporal
arrangement of solid-like and liquid-like atoms in nanoparticles. We use
Lindemann freezing-like criterion for identification of solid-like atoms
which occur randomly in supercooled region. Their number grows intensively
with decreasing temperature and they form clusters. Subsequently, single
percolation solid-like cluster occurs at temperature above the glass
transition. Glass transition occurs when atoms aggregated into this single
percolation cluster are in majority in the system to form relatively rigid
glassy state. Solid-like domain is forming in the center of nanoparticles
and grows outward to the surface. We found temperature dependence of
potential energy, mean-squared displacement (MSD) of atoms, diffusion
constant, incoherent intermediate scattering function, radial distribution
function (RDF), local bond-pair orders detected by Honeycutt-Andersen
analysis, radial density profile and radial atomic displacement
distributions in nanoparticles. We found that liquid-like atoms in models
obtained below glass transition have a tendency to concentrate in the
surface layer of nanoparticles. However, they do not form a purely
liquid-like surface layer coated nanoparticles. 相似文献

Motivated by recent experimental findings, we investigate the possible occurrence and characteristics of quasicrystalline order in two-dimensional mixtures of point dipoles with two sorts of dipole moments. Despite the fact that the dipolar interaction potential does not exhibit an intrinsic length scale and cannot be tuned a priori to support the formation of quasicrystalline order, we find that configurations with long-range quasicrystallinity yield minima in the potential energy surface of the many particle system. These configurations emanate from an ideal or perturbed ideal decoration of a binary tiling by steepest descent relaxation. Ground state energy calculations of alternative ordered states and parallel tempering Monte-Carlo simulations reveal that the quasicrystalline configurations do not correspond to a thermodynamically stable state. On the other hand, steepest descent relaxations and conventional Monte-Carlo simulations suggest that they are rather robust against fluctuations. Local quasicrystalline order in the disordered equilibrium states can be strong.Received: 15 September 2004, Published online: 26 November 2004PACS:

We numerically study the potential energy landscape of a fragile glassy system and find that the dynamic crossover corresponding to the glass transition is actually the effect of an underlying geometric transition caused by the vanishing of the instability index of saddle points of the potential energy. Furthermore, we show that the potential energy barriers connecting local glassy minima increase with decreasing energy of the minima, and we relate this behavior to the fragility of the system. Finally, we analyze the real space structure of activated processes by studying the distribution of particle displacements for local minima connected by simple saddles. 相似文献

Tailoring the structure of water at a metal surface: a structural analysis of the water bilayer formed on an alloy template 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recent studies show that structures based on the traditional "icelike" water bilayer are not stable on flat transition metal surfaces and, instead, more complex wetting layers are formed. Here we show that an ordered bilayer can be formed on a SnPt(111) alloy template and determine the structure of the water layer by low energy electron diffraction. Close agreement is found between experiment and the structure calculated by density functional theory. Corrugation of the alloy surface allows only alternate water molecules to chemisorb, stabilizing the H-down water bilayer by reducing the metal-hydrogen repulsion compared to a flat surface. 相似文献

We have performed transition state searches on the potential energy landscape for bulk and freestanding film polymer glasses and identified connected minima. An analysis of the displacements between minima shows that the sites that undergo the greatest displacement are highly localized in space for both the bulk and the thin-film systems studied. In the case of the thin film, the clusters originate at the surface and penetrate into the center of the film thereby coupling the relaxation in the center of the film to the mobile surface layer. Furthermore, the energy barriers between minima are lower in the thin film than in the bulk system. These findings can rationalize the experimentally observed depression of the glass transition temperature in freestanding polymer films. 相似文献

Reaction rate constants and kinetic isotope effects for the gas-phase reaction A + HBrAH+Br, where A can be H, D, or Mu, have been studied using variational transition state theory with semiclassical tunneling on two semiempirical potential energy surfaces and a newab initio surface. The rate constants and kinetic isotope effects are compared to experimental results. This comparison is used to test the potential energy surfaces, to determine which regions of the potential energy surface control the reaction rates and the kinetic isotope effects, and to learn whether or not any of the potential energy surfaces is accurate for a wide enough range of features to predict both the reaction rate constants and the kinetic isotope effects for this chemical system. 相似文献

We have calculated dynamical Casimir–Polder force between a moving ground state atom and a flat polarizable surface. The velocity of an atom can be close to the velocity of light. The material properties are taken into account using a single oscillator model of the atomic dynamic polarizability and the Drude dielectric function of a metal substrate. The limit cases of nonrelativistic velocities and an ideal metal substrate are also considered. We have found specific dependence of the calculated forces on the velocity (energy), distance and material properties. 相似文献

At a critical point of a second-order phase transition the intrinsic energy surface is flat and there is no stable minimum value of the deformation. However, for a finite system, we show that there is an effective deformation which can describe the dynamics at the critical point. This effective deformation is determined by minimizing the energy surface after projection onto the appropriate symmetries. We derive analytic expressions for energies and quadrupole rates which provide good estimates for these observables at the critical point. 相似文献
