Visualization of Melting Simulations

摘要

We describe visualization aspects of our recent atomistic simulations of bulk and surface melting. A discussion of the use of visualization to elucidate the nature of the mixing between different layers as the temperature is increased is given. We implemented the AViz package, which was prepared in the Technion's Computational Physics Group for use in atomistic simulations. This package enables, for example, the use of different colors for different intial locations in order to explore layer mixing and addlayer formation and the use of color to indicate the location of lattice defects at a glance.
