Low energy structural dynamics and constrained libration of Li(NH3)4, the lowest melting point metal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lattice and molecular dynamics for the solid phases of the lowest melting-point metal, Li(NH3)4, are determined by incoherent inelastic neutron scattering. Measurements of internal molecular displacements and distortions of the Li(NH3)4 units have been modelled and assigned using density functional theory calculations for the solid and molecular system. Inelastic neutron scattering measurement allow for the first determination of NH3 librational transitions.

Atomic Insights into the Melting Behavior of Metallic Nano-catalysts
In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations have been utilized to provide fundamental understanding of melting behavior of pure Pd and Pt nanoparticles with the size of 10 nm in diameter, both free and graphene-supported during continuous heating. The embedded atom method is employed to model the metal-metal interactions, whereas a Lennard-Jones potential is applied to describe the met...

The thermal and mechanical properties of pure cobalt were studied by using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique, in the temperature range from 200 K up to melting point. The Cleri-Rosato many-body potential was used as interatomic potential. This MD simulation was employed at the constant pressure, constant temperature (NPT) ensemble. The temperature and pressure of the system were ...

The “three-body problem”, which considers a system composed of three gravitating bodies rather than the two bodies of the classical Keplerian model, has been studied extensively for several hundred years. Investigations of the three-body problem have inspired many new developments in the mathematical theory of differential equations and dynamical systems. From a more practical standpoint, the s...

The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملTheoretical study on superalkali (Li3) in ammonia: novel alkalides with considerably large first hyperpolarizabilities.
Superalkali Li3 dissolved in gaseous ammonia is investigated by density functional theory. Similar to the lithium atom, Li3 can coordinate up to four ammonia molecules. Among the structural isomers of Li3(NH3)n (n = 1-4), the one with separately distributed NH3 ligands is preferred. Most of the Li3(NH3)n species possess the alkalide characteristics and exhibit considerably large static first hy...
