Atomistic Simulation of Crystal-to-Amorphous Transitions in the Intermetallic Alloys NiZr2 and Cu3Au.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The behaviour of two different systems, NiZr2 and Cu3Au, submitted to a chemical disordering process under various thermodynamical conditions has been investigated by Molecular Dynamics simulations. The role played by volume expansion and elastic softening in the onset of the transition has been discussed in the framework of the percolation model (C.Massobrio and V.Pontikis, Phys.Rev.B 45 (1992) 2484), correlating the elastic instability with the percolation of the distorted regions which establishes in the lattice as a consequence of the external perturbations (introduction of defects, volume expansion, chemical disorder etc.).
