Computer Simulation of Atomic Srtucture of Cu57Zr43Amorphous Alloy

Abstract
A model amorphous structure has been constructed in computer for a metal-metal amorphous alloy CU 57 Zr 43 through random positioning of the two species of atoms followed by relaxation using modified Lennard-Jones 4–8 potentials. The results agree well with experimental ones in the partial radial distribution functions and in the density. Voronoi polyhedra analysis was performed in order to examine geometrical characteristics of the constructed model.
