In the present research article we have studied various properties like binding energy, the pair distribution function g(r), the structure factor S(q), specific heat at constant volume, and coordination number of alkalineearth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) near melting point temperature using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique with a pseudopotential proposed by us. Good agreement with the experiment is achieved for the binding energy, pair distribution function, and structure factor and these results compare favorably with the results obtained by other such calculations, showing the transferability of the pseudopotential used from solid to liquid environment in the case of alkaline-earth metals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
