a Snapshots of the Ga(l) (upper), EGaIn(l) (middle) and In(l) (lower) on the Pt(001) surface structures after a 10 ps simulation time. b Radial distribution functions (RDFs) between the liquid metal (Ga and In) and Pt atoms. c RDFs between the liquid metal atoms. d, e Density profile analysis of the liquid metal atoms: d Ga and e In. f Mean square displacement (MSD) of the liquid metal atoms. g MSD of Pt atoms perpendicular to the surface in a Ga or EGaIn liquid metal matrix.
