Title: Structure and dynamics of a metallic glass: Molecular-dynamics simulations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The glass transition, structure, and dynamics of a Ca/sub 67/Mg/sub 33/ metallic glass are studied via a new molecular-dynamics method incorporating the density dependence of the potentials. Results are in agreement with neutron-scattering data. The accessible configurational energy of the glass is found to possess several nearly degenerate potential minima.
