Abstract

The vibrational density of states of silver in the form of a free cluster, a single crystal and a nanocrystalline material has been calculated with the help of molecular-dynamics simulations. The model for the nanocrystalline material was derived by the simulation of pressureless sintering of nanometer sized silver particles. The results show a broadening of the vibrational density of states in the case of the cluster and the nanocrystalline material.
