Calculation of the dependence of the melting point temperature of a silver nanoparticle on the nanoparticle size using different embedded atom potentials

Silver nanoparticles are one of the most important nanomaterials among metallic nanoparticles due to their excellent physicochemical properties. Such nanoparticles are used in ink, microelectronics and medicine. In this work, the thermal stability of silver nanoparticles was studied using molecular dynamics modeling. In the course of this work, the dependences of the potential energy per atom on the temperature during heating for different sizes of silver nanoparticles, the dependence of the melting temperature on the size of the nanoparticle using different potentials of the submerged atom are calculated and analyzed.
