    Central-force decomposition of spline-based modified embedded atom method potential

    No full text
    Central-force decompositions are fundamental to the calculation of stress fields in atomic systems by means of Hardy stress. We derive expressions for a central-force decomposition of the spline-based modified embedded atom method (s-MEAM) potential. The expressions are subsequently simplified to a form that can be readily used in molecular-dynamics simulations, enabling the calculation of the spatial distribution of stress in systems treated with this novel class of empirical potentials. We briefly discuss the properties of the obtained decomposition and highlight further computational techniques that can be expected to benefit from the results of this work. To demonstrate the practicability of the derived expressions, we apply them to calculate stress fields due to an edge dislocation in bcc Mo, comparing their predictions to those of linear elasticity theory

    Numerical investigation of non-ohmic hopping conduction in macroscopically non-homogeneousthin layers. Weak electron-phonon interaction

    The current-field and the conductivity-field characteristics of random hopping non-uniform systems in the limit of a weak electron-phonon coupling (band-like hopping transport in disordered solids) have been calculated numerically within the Bottger-Bryksin model. In particular, we consider thin layers placed between two planar Ohmic contacts, with exponential spatial variations in the total centre concentration over the layer thickness. We find that firstly for r-hopping transport in spatially uniform layers the current decreases with increasing field, reaching a constant saturation value, and on increasing the degree of non-uniformity the saturation current becomes lower and secondly both uniform and non-uniform r- epsilon -hopping systems are almost exactly Ohmic in the investigated field range; conductivity decreases on increasing the degree of non-uniformity of the centre distribution. Degree of the layer non-uniformity in the limit of weak electron-phonon coupling are quite different from the dependences in the case of strong electron-phonon coupling. The dependences on the degree of the layer non-uniformity of the centre distribution. The dependences on the degree of the layer non-uniformity in the limit of weak electron-phonon coupling are quite different from the dependences in the case of strong electron-phonon coupling

    A new program package for investigation of medium-range order in computer-simulated solids

    No full text
    The opportunity to gain detailed information on the representative sets of rings, and chains of atoms is of great importance in the analysis of medium-range order in the computer-simulated structures of solids. In this paper, a new program package (ANELLI) for ring and chain analysis of computer-simulated atomic structures is presented, and examples are given of its usage
