A molecular dynamics study of the transport coefficients of liquid transition and noble metals using effective pair potentials obtained from the embedded atom model

Effective pair potential based on the embedded atom model (EAM) to compute the diffusion coefficients and shear viscosities of liquid Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au were described. These quantities were taken as representatives of single-particle and collective dynamical properties. It was found that pair potentials constructed on the basis of the VC EAM, were capable of describing other single-particle and collective dynamical properties of liquid transition and noble metals.
