Molecular dynamics simulation of rapid solidification of Aluminum under pressure

TL;DR

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to explore how pressure influences the rapid solidification process of Aluminum, revealing that higher pressure enhances crystallization during cooling.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the effect of pressure on Aluminum solidification using molecular dynamics with EAM potential.

Findings

High pressure promotes stronger crystallization.

Radial distribution function characterizes structural changes.

Pressure significantly affects solidification behavior.

Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulation study based on the EAM potential is carried out to investigate the effect of pressure on the rapid solidification of Aluminum. The radial distribution function is used to characterize the structure of the Al solidified under different pressures. It is indicated that a high pressure leads to strong crystallization tendency during cooling.
