Abstract
A theoretical method is proposed for describing the atomic ordering in multicomponent amorphous systems. It accounts for both two-particle and multiparticle correlations between atoms. A configurational Hamiltonian allows for the existence of multiparticle interaction potentials. A crystal with an arbitrary number of various structural defects is assumed to model the amorphous state. These defects are regarded as new kinds of atoms. The present work is based on the multiparticle-entropy method.
