Calculation update! New properties have been added to the website for dislocation monopole core structures, dynamic relaxes of both crystal and liquid phases, and melting temperatures! Currently, the results for these properties predominately focus on EAM-style potentials, but the results will be updated for other potentials as the associated calculations finish. Feel free to give us feedback on the new properties so we can improve their representations as needed.
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.

Abstract: Second-nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN MEAM) interatomic potentials for Cu-M (M = Co, Mo) binary systems have been developed. The Cu-M potentials can be extended to Pt-Cu-M ternary 2NN MEAM potentials being combined with already existing Pt-M potentials and can be utilized for atomistic simulations to design inexpensive and efficient platinum alloy catalysts. The potentials reproduce fundamental material properties such as structural and thermodynamic properties of compound and solution phases in reasonable agreement with experimental data. Herein, the validity of the developed potentials for atomistic simulation is ascertained.
