Abstract
The crystallization dynamics of 5083 atom gold nanoclusters, which were quenched fromthe melt, were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) using the EAM ‘Glue’ and‘Force-matched’ potentials to compare and contrast how the crystallization dynamics isaffected by these potential energy functions. MD simulations from each potential showedthe formation of gold nanoclusters of icosahedral morphology during the quenching process,which is in good agreement with the experimental studies of gold nanoclustersformed under vacuum. The effect of the potential on the evolution of cluster(surface and interior) morphology during the crystallization process is discussed.
