Abstract

By using the recently improved generalized-simulated-annealing algorithm and the molecular dynamics method, we numerically fit an interatomic potential for lead. The potential obtained can correctly reproduce many physical properties of lead in crystalline and non-crystalline phases. The surface energy and surface relaxation obtained are in good agreement with the experimental results. The melting point predicted by this potential is very close to the experimental data. The present potential is used to study the surface melting and liquid structure; good agreement with experimental results is observed.
