ABSTRACT
In recent years, nanoparticles, which play an important role in the development of nanotechnology, have been the focus of attention of many researchers. Metallic nanoparticles have many unique physical and chemical properties such as high thermal and electrical conductivity, high flexibility and strength, optical transmittance and chemical inertness compared to bulk materials due to surface effects. For the development and production of new nano-technological devices, a good understanding of the thermal, mechanical and electronic properties of nanoparticles is required. In this study, we investigated the structural and dynamic properties of metallic aluminum (Al) nanoparticles during the melting process using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. In MD simulations, the interactions between Al atoms were described using embedded atom potentials (EAM). In order to observe how the thermal, structural and dynamic properties of Al nanoparticles change depending on the particle size and temperature, the potential energy, pairs distribution function, mean square displacement and diffusion coefficient of the system were calculated. The results obtained from MD simulations clearly showed that the melting point of nanoparticle increases as the particle size increases, and the structural and dynamic properties are directly related to the particle size and temperature.
