Dynamics and Geometry of Icosahedral Order in Liquid and Glassy Phases of Metallic Glasses

The geometrical properties of the icosahedral ordered structure formed in liquid and glassy phases of metallic glasses are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate the Zr-Cu alloy system as well as a simple model for binary alloys, in which we can change the atomic size r...
