摘要
Molecular-dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to compute the crystal-melt interface stress (f) in a model Lennard-Jones (LJ) binary alloy system, as well as for elemental Si and Ni modeled by many-body Stillinger-Weber and embedded-atom-method (EAM) potentials, respectively. For the LJ alloys the interface stress in the (100) orientation was found to be negative and the f vs composition behavior exhibits a slight negative deviation from linearity. For Stillinger-Weber Si, a positive interface stress was found for both (100) and (111) interfaces: f(100)=(380 +/- 30) mJ/m(2) and f(111)=(300 +/- 10) mJ/m(2). The Si (100) and (111) interface stresses are roughly 80 and 65% of the value of the interfacial free energy (gamma), respectively. In EAM Ni we obtained f(100)=(22 +/- 74) mJ/m(2), which is an order of magnitude lower than gamma. A qualitative explanation for the trends in f is discussed.
