Al 100¹x Si x (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) amorphous alloy models are constructed by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In order to investigate the local rearrangement during the tension deformation, Honeycutt-Andersen (HA) method and Voronoi tessellation method are performed for the initial state, The HA method and the atomic local shear strain are used for the deformed states of the models. The structure of AlSi alloys is mainly amorphous structure. It is found that the Si element enhanced glass-forming ability. Moreover, the amorphous structure breaks and transforms into other tiny complex structure during the tension deformation. In addition, it is observed that the amorphous regions which preferentially undergo atomic rearrangement in the elastic stage and early plastic stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
