Exploration of the atomic-level structures of the icosahedral clusters in Cu–Zr–Al ternary metallic glasses via first-principles theory
The atomic-level structures of the icosahedral clusters in Cu–Zr–Al ternary metallic glasses were studied via the first-principles theory. The rules of icosahedra stability were determined. Icosahedra with a better chemical order or with a better symmetry exhibited a better stability. The strong con...
