× Warning! Note that elemental potentials taken from alloy descriptions may not work well for the pure species. This is particularly true if the elements were fit for compounds instead of being optimized separately. As with all interatomic potentials, please check to make sure that the performance is adequate for your problem.

× Updated! Potentials that share interactions are now listed as related models.

Abstract: In the current work, the issue of re-parameterization of Tersoff empirical potential model was addressed for 2D nanomaterial ‘germanene’ to be applied in molecular dynamics simulation based studies. The well-known chi-square minimization procedure was used to optimize the original Tersoff potential parameters. Many properties of germanene were extracted using both original and optimized Tersoff potentials and they compared with the corresponding density functional theory data. According to the results, the optimized Tersoff potential provides a significant improvement in many structural, thermodynamic, mechanical, and thermal properties of geramanene.
