Local structural features of metallic alloys: Ni<inf>33</inf>Zr<inf>67</inf> and Ni<inf>50</inf>Zr<inf>50</inf>

Abstract

In this work we present the results of computer simulations molecular dynamics of the metallic alloys: Ni33Zr67 and Ni50Zr50. The critical glass-forming temperatures are defined from the behavior change of theWendt-Abraham parameters of the studied systems. We have found that the increase in the concentration of nickel in the system NiZr leads to displacement of the critical glass-forming temperature in higher temperature region. It is shown that the structural transformations which were observed in the Ni50Zr50 system are not related with crystallization processes.
