Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

By using of the semiempirical PM3 method, we propose a quantum-mechanical model of the interaction of surface-active molecules with deformed sp-metals. We show that cetyl alcohol decreases the forces of interatomic bonds for aluminum clusters and oleic acid has a similar influence on tin clusters. We obtain a satisfactory agreement between the numerical results and experimental data in a wide range of stresses covering both the elastic and plastic regions.
