Abstract

This paper reports on the results of the molecular dynamics simulation of isothermal and isochronous annealings of binary clusters in the Cu-Ni and Cu-Pd systems. The specific features of the formation of the structure are investigated as a function of the component ratio and the cluster size. It is revealed that the Cu-Ni and Cu-Pd clusters have low and high tendencies toward amorphization, respectively. This is explained by different ratios between the atomic sizes in compositionally ordered systems.
