The research investigates the dynamical stability of Lennard-Jones crystals in both 2D and 3D structures, categorizing them into four groups based on different (m, n) pairs. Instabilities of various structures are studied within analytical expressions, and the relationship between LJ crystals and elemental metals in the periodic table is discussed.
The dynamical stability of three-dimensional (3D) Lennard-Jones (LJ) crystals has been studied for many years. The fcc and hcp structures are dynamically stable, while the bcc structure is stable only for long-range LJ potentials that are characterized by relatively small integer pairs (m, n). Here, we study the dynamical stability of two-dimensional (2D) LJ crystals, where the planar hexagonal, the buckled honeycomb, and the buckled square structures are assumed. We demonstrate that the stability property of 2D and 3D LJ crystals can be classified into four groups depending on (m, n). The instabilities of the planar hexagonal, the buckled square, and the bcc structures are investigated within analytical expressions. The structure-stability relationship between the LJ crystals and the elemental metals in the periodic table is also discussed.
