Abstract

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation was used for time evolution of melting dynamics on gold nanoparticle with thickness 8 nm. The systems are heated up from room temperature up to three times melting point in 10 ps to ensure that the system is melted and expanding. After t = 7 ps, the system is collapsed, hence pressure oscillation is vanished. Common Neighbor Analysis (CNA) along with wide angle scattering confirmed the melting state at the end of simulation. While small-angle scattering indicated the expansion of the system, it cannot precisely calculate system radius due to its small size.
