Embedded-atom-method functions for the fcc metals Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, and their alloys.
TL;DR: A consistent set of embedding functions and pair interactions for use with the embedded-atom method was determined empirically by fitting to the sublimation energy, equilibrium lattice constant, elastic constants, and vacancy-formation energies of the pure metals and the heats of solution of the binary alloys as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The embedded-atom method: a review of theory and applications
TL;DR: The embedded-atom method (EAM) as mentioned in this paper is a semi-empirical method for performing calculations of defects in metals, and it has been shown to provide a very useful and robust means of calculating approximate structure and energetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of computed grain boundary properties in face-centered cubic metals: I. Grain boundary energy
TL;DR: The absolute grain boundary mobility of 388 nickel grain boundaries was calculated using a synthetic driving force molecular dynamics method; complete results appear in the Supplementary materials as discussed by the authors. But the authors did not consider the effect of boundary mobility on grain boundary roughening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral neighbor analysis method for automated generation of quantum-accurate interatomic potentials
Aidan P. Thompson,Laura Painton Swiler,Christian Robert Trott,Stephen M. Foiles,Garritt J. Tucker +4 more
TL;DR: Results for a SNAP potential for tantalum are presented, showing that it accurately reproduces a range of commonly calculated properties of both the crystalline solid and the liquid phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Step Effects on Nanoindentation
TL;DR: A new metric, the slip vector, shows material slip coinciding with the <112> directions of a lowest unstable stacking fault barrier, which is shown to be a good dislocation nucleation criterion.
