Analytic potential energy functions for simulating aluminum nanoparticles.
Potential energy functions (PEFs) parametrized to bulk data are shown to perform poorly for small aluminum nanoparticles and clusters. In contrast, PEFs parametrized to a limited set of cluster and bulk data, but no nanoparticle data, perform well for nanoparticles. This validates a practical scheme for developing PEFs for nanoscale systems. Building on these findings, we optimized five PEFs by...
متن کاملAl Nanoparticles: Accurate Potential Energy Functions and Physical Properties
In this paper we discuss the development, validation, and application of analytic potential energy functions for simulating Al nanoparticles. We consider six functions, the Ercolessi-Adams, Mei– Davenport, Sutton–Chen, and Streitz–Mintmire functions from the literature and the NP-A and NP-B functions from our group. We find that the NP-A and NP-B potential energy functions, which were fit to a ...
متن کاملMany-body tight-binding model for aluminum nanoparticles
A new, parametrized many-body tight-binding model is proposed for calculating the potential energy surface for aluminum nanoparticles. The parameters have been fitted to reproduce the energies for a variety of aluminum clusters sAl2, Al3, Al4, Al7, Al13d calculated recently by the PBE0/MG3 method as well as the experimental face-centered-cubic cohesive energy, lattice constant, and a small set ...
متن کاملDetermination of e ω , e e x ω , e B , and e α using potential energy functions for heteronuclear diatomic molecules via spreadsheet program
In order to represent the potential energy function over the whole range of R, many potentialenergy functions have been proposed. In the present paper, we employ many potential energyfunctions, to use Numerov method for solving the nuclear Schrödinger equation for the IFmolecule, as an example of a heteronuclear diatomic molecules. Then we determine thespectroscopic constants eω , e e x ω , e B...
متن کاملElectron affinity of Al13: a correlated electronic structure study.
Neutral and anionic 13-atom aluminum clusters are studied with high-level, fully ab initio methods: second-order perturbation theory (MP2) and coupled cluster theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)). Energies and vibrational frequencies are reported for icosahedral and decahedral isomers, and are compared with density functional theory results. At the MP2 level of theor...
