Abstract

A molecular dynamics simulation is carried out for a 50 000-atom system to study the variation of microstructural configuration of liquid metal Al during a rapid cooling process. The transition mechanism is identified hy various bond-types and cluster structures. A very clear picture of how metal atoms form clusters and how they evolve further has been obtained, which will give us an important enlightenment to understand the forming mechanism and microscopic process of an amorphous structure.
