Abstract

A model of an amorphous alloy structure of 600 atoms was designed using a RCPSS method. The model cluster was relaxed by using a Morse potential according to the original methodology. Paired and angular correlation functions, distribution histograms of nearest neighbors, and the coherent component of x-ray beam scattering were calculated for the relaxed cluster. The short-range fine structure was analyzed. It is shown that the cluster has a clearly expressed icosahedral character. These results are a logical consequence of the relaxation of a centrally symmetric potential.
