Abstract A molecular-dynamics scheme in the embedded-atom method is shown to be the efficient and accurate in studying liquid aluminium system. The ability of the method in studying liquid system is demonstrated by calculating the intent heat, self-diffusion coefficient, pair distribution function of aluminium, and so on. All of the results agree well with experimental results. The background electron density is also calculated using this method, and the result shows that a discontinuous change occurs at melting point for the electron density in the system.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
