  • Descrição: We present new numerical pair-additive Al, Ni, and Al-Ni potentials by force-matching (FM) ionic force and virial data from single (bulk liquid) phase ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the Born-Oppenheimer method. The potentials are represented by piece-wise functions (splines) and, therefore, are not constrained to a particular choice of analytical functional form. The FM method with virial constraint naturally yields a potential which maps out the ionic free-energy surface of the reference ensemble. To further improve the free energetics of the FM ensemble, the FM procedure is modified to bias the potentials to reproduce the experimental melting temperatures of the reference (FCC-Al, FCC-Ni, B2-NiAl) phases, the only macroscopic data included in the fitting set. The performance of the resultant potentials in simulating bulk metallic phases is then evaluated. The new model is applied to perform MD simulations of self-propagating exothermic reaction in Ni-Al bilayers at P = 0-5 GPa initiated at T = 1300 K. Consistent with experimental observations, the new model describes realistically a sequence of peritectic phase transformations throughout the reaction and at a realistic rate. The reaction proceeds through interlayer diffusion of Al and Ni atoms at the interface with formation of B2-NiAl in the Al melt. Such material responses have, in the past, been proven to be difficult to observe with then-existing potentials.
