Abstract

The solid–liquid transition region of an Ag–Pd bimetallic cluster composed of 201 Ag and201 Pd atoms is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. An effective andconvenient method is reported for finding that region. For external energy, Agand Pd clusters were caused to collide with various initial velocities under thecondition of a microcanonical ensemble. The Ag201–Pd201 bimetallic cluster wasobserved to completely melt at 900 K with a solid–liquid coexistence range of 50 K.
