Abstract
A metallic amorphous structure model has been constructed on a computer such that an assembly of atoms are spread at random in a cube, under the restriction that no two atoms are closer than a given core diameter, and are then subjected to relaxation through Johnson's interatomic potential (1964) to obtain a minimal energy configuration. The results, without depending on the core diameter, show both a high packing fraction ( eta =0.74) and a realistic pair distribution function.Keywords
