摘要: Abstract A systematic investigation of the melting properties Ni 7 and H is presented. Classical Monte Carlo simulation methods modified by j-walking are used. Melting takes place at 100 ± 20 K heat capacity peak ∼400 wide for both systems. Using structural comparison techniques, quantitative isomer distributions as function temperature determined without quenching. The addition one atom hydrogen does not visibly increase `mobility' finite nickel substrate.
