The embedded-atom method is a semi-empirical method for performing calculations of
defects in metals. The EAM incorporates a picture of metallic bonding, for which there is …

We review the results of recent molecular-dynamics simulations of the structure and
deformation behavior of nanocrystalline materials, ie, polycrystalline materials with a grain …

We evaluate the ability of the embedded-atom method (EAM) potentials and the tight-
binding (TB) method to predict reliably energies and stability of nonequilibrium structures by …

Nanoparticle penetration into cell membranes is an interesting phenomenon that may have
crucial implications on the nanoparticles' biomedical applications. In this paper, a coarse …

The segregation of solute atoms at grain boundaries (GBs) can profoundly impact the
structural properties of metallic alloys, and induce effects that range from strengthening to …

Gold nanocrystals passivated by self‐assembled monolayers of straightchain alkylhiolate
molecules have been obtained as highly purified molecular materials of high intrinsic …

We review the historical and modern understanding of the most basic equation of friction,
Amontons' law, which describes phenomena that were already understood and studied by …

Molecular dynamics simulations and atomic force microscopy are used to investigate the
atomistic mechanisms of adhesion, contact formation, nanoindentation, separation, and …

Cationic nanoparticles (NPs) and cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter cells in an
energy-independent fashion, esca** the traditional endocytosis route, which is known as …

Grain boundaries control a wide variety of bulk properties in polycrystalline materials, so
simulation methods like density functional theory are routinely used to study their structure …
