Abstract:
The modified embedded atom method (MEAM) potentials improved by Jin et al. (Appl. Phys. A120 (2015), p. 189) were applied to calculate the mono- and bi-vacancy properties as well as the phonon dispersions for hexagonal close-packed (HCP) metals Be, Co, Hf, Mg, and Re. We expressed the formulas for calculating the mono- and bi-vacancy properties by the molecular static (MS) method based on the MEAM potentials for HCP metals. The lattice dynamics (LD) method and the MEAM potentials were adopted to calculate the phonon dispersion properties. The calculation results show better agreement with the experimental data than the previous calculations by using the unimproved embedded atom model.
