In this work, a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) technique was used to simulate the growth morphology of electrodeposited polycrystalline Ag thin films under a galvanostatic condition (current density). The many-body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potential has been used to describe the Ag-Ag atomic interaction. Herein, the surface morphology is affected by the kinetic diffusion of adatoms where four jump processes are considered, namely hopping, exchange, step-edge exchange and grain boundary.

Delocalized nonlinear vibrational modes (DNVMs) supported in crystal lattices are exact solutions to the equations of motion of particles that are determined by the symmetry of the lattices. DNVMs exist for any vibration amplitudes and for any interparticle potentials. It is important to know how the properties of DNVMs depend on the parameters of interparticle potentials.

Evaluation of the entropy from molecular dynamics (MD) simulation remains an outstanding challenge. The standard approach requires thermodynamic integration across a series of simulations. Recent work Nicholson et al.

Recent advances in machine-learned interatomic potentials largely benefit from the atomistic representation and locally invariant many-body descriptors. It was, however, recently argued that including three-body (or even four-body) features is incomplete to distinguish specific local structures. Utilizing an embedded density descriptor made by linear combinations of neighboring atomic orbitals and realizing that each orbital coefficient physically depends on its own local environment, we propose a recursively embedded atom neural network model.

A method for the calculation of elastic constants in the NVT ensamble using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with a realistic many-body embedded-atom-model (EAM) potential is studied in detail. It is shown that, in such NVT MD simulations, the evaluation of elastic constants is robust and accurate because it gives the elastic tensor in a single simulation which converges using a small number of time steps and particles. These results highlight the applicability of this method in (i) the calculation of local elastic constants of nonhomogeneous crystalline materials and (ii) the calibration of interatomic potentials, as a fast and accurate alternative to the common method of explicit deformation, which requires a set of consistent simulations at different conditions.
