Abstract
The many-body Finnis-Sinclair potential has been used to perform a MD simulation of the impact of an A1 cluster on an A1 surface. We have used an optimised version of the DL_POLY molecular dynamics simulation code [1] to study the cluster-surface impact processes. Based on the density and temperature distribution data the low energy cluster-surface interactions has been analyzed in detail and a novel interpretation of droplet spreading process is given.
