Molecular Dynamical Studies of the Properties of Solids under Pressure.
Abstract
The long-range objective of this project is to develop and apply the method of molecular dynamics to the study of the thermodynamic and transport properties of solids under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions, such as those encountered in the shock compression of a solid or in the detonation of a reacting material. The main objective of the past year was to study the transport of thermal energy in a solid under steady and pulsed heating. The purpose is to compare the molecular dynamical results with existing results so as to obtain a critical evaluation of the basic molecular dynamical method. In addition, the phenomenon of second sound observed in our earlier calculations of the shock compression of a solid might be understood.
