MORSE POTENTIAL FOR THE SIMULATION OF THE RELAXATION OF A METAL NANOPARTICLE ON SIMPLE CUBIC LATTICE

Krasilnikov Mikhail Petrovich

Information About Author:

The paper presents a simulation of the relaxation of a metal nanoparticle with Morse interatomic interaction potential, allowing to obtain a realistic (observed in the experiment) equilibrium shape of supported and free nanoparticles. Simulation is performed on a simple cubic lattice. To describe the interatomic interaction the was used the paired Morse potential.

Keywords: equilibrium shape of the nanoparticle, the lattice model, Monte Carlo calculation, the Morse potential
