Abstract: Using molecular dynamics method, the solid state wetting in the system Pb (nanoparticle) / Cu (substrate) has been observed and studied. It has been found that the solid state spreading mechanism corresponds to the surface diffusion developed via the linear dependence of the square first monolayer radius on the spreading time. From the dependence in question, the surface diffusion coefficient was evaluated.
Keywords: solid state wetting, surface diffusion,  nanoparticles,  surface, molecular dynamics.
