Interfaz gráfica de usuario para la simulación por dinámica molecular de películas delgadas
Resumen
En este trabajo se implementó el software de simulación para la nanoindentación de películas delgadas. El software desarrollado empleó la técnica de Dinámica Molecular. El modelo con el cual opera la interfaz gráfica (software), es un modelo aproximado, que reproduce las tendencias de las curvas características en pruebas de dureza de materiales. Por otro lado, el programa se diseñó y construyó con un entorno amigable, donde el usuario puede construir sus propias películas delgadas, tanto en monocapas como en bicapas. La interfaz permite controlar el espesor de la película, el número de capas y otras propiedades físicas tales como energía de disociación o parámetros de energía en la esfera; además, se puede tener control de los pasos de tiempo de dinámica. Para comprobar el funcionamiento del software se realizaron una serie de simulaciones utilizando los parámetros del cromo como material de referencia. Los resultados obtenidos, demostraron que el software puede reproducir las tendencias y curvas características en pruebas de dureza de materiales. Se espera mejorar este software para que sea una herramienta que permita realizar comparaciones con futuras investigaciones experimentales.Referencias bibliográficas
