Using the Voter and Chen version of an embedded atom model, derived by fitting simultaneously to experimental data of both the diatomic molecule and bulk platinum, we have studied the melting behavior of free, small platinum clusters in the size range of N = 15-19 in the molecular dynamics simulation technique. We present an atom-resolved analysis method that includes physical quantities such as the root-mean-square bond-length fluctuation and coordination number for individual atoms as functions of temperature. The results show that as the Pt-15-Pt-18 clusters exhibit multistage melting, melting in Pt-19 cluster takes place in a single but interesting stage. None of these melting stages occurs at a specific temperature, rather, melting processes take place over a finite temperature range. This range is larger for less symmetric clusters. An ensemble of clusters in the melting region is a mixture of different isomeric forms of the clusters. The multistage melting and the occurrence of a single melting stage over a temperature range are two different phenomena.

Genetic algorithm-Monte Carlo hybrid geometry optimization method for atomic clusters Dugan, Nazim; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01) In this work, an evolutionary type global optimization method for identifying the stable geometries of atomic clusters is developed and applied to carbon clusters for testing purpose. Monte Carlo (MC) type local optimization is used between genetic algorithm (GA) steps together with a special Mutation operation designed for the Cluster geometry optimization problem. Cluster geometries and the corresponding potential energies for carbon obtained with this GA-MC hybrid method are compared with available resul...
Structural properties of boron carbide nanoparticles: Application of a new set of Stillinger-Weber parameters Dugan, Nazim; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) A suitable Stillinger-Weber (SW) potential energy function parameter set is developed for finite boron structures by genetic algorithm and trial error techniques. Boron structure geometries in 7-24 atoms range, calculated by ab initio methods, are taken as the fitting criteria in the parameter set development. This parameter set is used together with another SW parameter set developed for carbon-carbon interactions in order to investigate boron carbide nanoparticles in the form of BxCx where 8 <= x <= 14. I...
Analyzing Fe-Zn system using molecular dynamics, evolutionary neural nets and multi-objective genetic algorithms Bhattacharya, Baidurya; Kumar, G. R. Dinesh; Agarwal, Akash; Erkoç, Şakir; Singh, Arunima; Chakraborti, Nirupam (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01) Failure behavior of Zn coated Fe is simulated through molecular dynamics (MD) and the energy absorbed at the onset of failure along with the corresponding strain of the Zn lattice are computed for different levels of applied shear rate. temperature and thickness. Data-driven models are constructed by feeding the MD results to an evolutionary neural network. The outputs of these neural networks are utilized to carry out a multi-objective optimization through genetic algorithms, where the best possible tradeo...
Application of non-convex rate dependent gradient plasticity to the modeling and simulation of inelastic microstructure development and inhomogeneous material behavior Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M. G. D.; Svendsen, Bob (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) In this study, a two-dimensional rate-dependent gradient crystal plasticity model for non-convex energetic hardening is formulated and applied to the simulation of inelastic microstructure formation. In particular, non-convex hardening is modeled via a Landau-Devonshire potential for self-hardening and two interaction-matrix-based forms for latent hardening. The algorithmic formulation and the numerical implementation treats the displacement and the glide-system slips as the primary field variables. The num...
Modelling and Monte Carlo simulation of the atomic ordering processes in Ni3Al intermetallics Mehrabov, Amdulla; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat (IOP Publishing, 2007-03-01) The evolution of atomic ordering processes in Ni3Al has been modelled by a Monte Carlo ( MC) simulation method combined with the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation. The magnitudes of atomic ordering energies of atomic pairs in the Ni3Al system have been calculated by means of electronic theory in pseudopotential approximation up to the 4th coordination spheres and subsequently used as input data for MC simulation for more detailed analysis for the first time. The Bragg - Williams l...
