Atomistic Structural Evolution and Glass Transition in Ni-Mn Alloy under Different Cooling and Annealing Conditions
In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to examine glass formation in equiatomic Ni.Mn alloy across system sizes of 4000–16384 atoms, cooling rates of 5×10 12 –10 14 K s –1 , and isothermal annealing at 600, 700, and 800 K. Increasing the model size improves the statistical sampling of local str...
