Gold (Au)
In the standard package of LAMMPS, the potential of Au is (Foiles,1986; S.M. Foiles, M.I. Baskes, and M.S. Daw, Phys. Rev. B 33, 7983, 1986).
Hoyt,2002 (Atomistic computation of liquid diffusivity, solid-liquid interfacial free
energy and kinetic coefficient in Au and Ag, J. J. Hoyt, M.Asta, Phys
Rev B, 65, 214106 (2002) http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.65.214106)
In recent MD studies of the solid-liquid interfacial free energy in Ni the sensitivity of the calculated values of gamma (g) to the details of the EAM potential were investigated. It was concluded that the calculated value of g depends on the accuracy of the melting point predicted by the interatomic potential
and the value of the anisotropy varied somewhat depending on the specific choice of the EAM potential. Those potentials which more accurately reproduced the elastic properties of the crystal yielded anisotropies in close agreement.
In the present work the embedded atom potentials formulated
by (Voter and Chen, 1978; A.F. Voter and S.P. Chen, in Characterization of Defects in Materials,
edited by R. W. Siegel and R. Sinclair, MRS Symposia Proceedings No. 82; Materials Research Society, Pittsburgh, 1978, p. 175. ) have been employed throughout. The Voter-Chen potentials are superior to the
earlier versions due to Foiles, Baskes, and Daw (S.M. Foiles, M.I. Baskes, and M.S. Daw, Phys. Rev. B 33, 7983, 1986) in terms of the predicted elastic properties of the solid phase. The melting point of Au for the VC potential is closer to experiment than the FBD version whereas the melting point for Ag is slightly worse.
...
The melting point for the EAM potentials can be found by monitoring the solid-liquid interface velocity vs temperature and extrapolating to the temperature corresponding to zero motion. With this procedure we find the melting point for Ag to be 1115 K and 1120 K for Au. These values are below the actual measured melting points of 1234 K and 1338 K for Ag and Au, respectively, but the agreement with experiment is
reasonable given that no properties of the liquid were utilized in the potential fit procedure. For comparison, the melting points for the Foiles, Baskes, and Daw EAM potentials are 1170 for Ag and 1090 for Au.
