Abstract

Elastic constants of metallic multilayered film have been calculated using MEAM (Modified Embedded Atom Method) potential. Structural relaxation has been performed to obtain relaxed model structure of (111) stacked multilayers which consist of two fee metal elements. The composition modulation wavelength dependence of elastic constants was found to be large, and we could not observe any large enhancement of elastic modulus in the calculated systems.
