Abstract
The embedded-atom method is adopted to simulate the specific heat capacity of liquid silver. The relationship between the specific heat capacity and t he temperature above and below melting point is derived. The results show t hat there exists an anormaly of the specific heat capacity of liquid silver near 950 K. Simulated pair distribution functions show that the liquid-to- glass transition takes place at this temperature.
