List of Experiments

Experiment-1 validate the interatomic potentiala. create random solid soultion of Cu50Zr50 alloy (50 Å x 50 Å x 50

Å; 50 Å x 50 Å x 100 Å)b. melt the binary alloy at three different temperatures (1500 K,

2000 K, 1000 K). Use 20000 iterations to reach the above tempe

c. compare the temperatures with the experimental observed from the phase diagram

d. Use RDF plot to judge the liquid structuree. Quench the alloy (1014 K/s, 1012 K/s, 1010K/s)f. Plot volume vs. temperature during heating, holding and

quenching.g. Determine the glass transition temperature and the effect of

cooling rate on the transition temperature. h. create ternary Cu47Zr47Al6 amorphous alloy

Experiment-2Calculating the diffusivity of Cu in

amorphous Cu50Zr50 and Cu47Zr47Al6 alloys1. Use compute MSD (mean square displacement) to calculate the

diffusivities of Cu, Zr and Al2. Use NPT ensemble Tstart and Tend at 300 K, run the simulation

for 50000 iterations, plot MSD values vs time step3. Slope in diffuse regime gives the diffusivity4. Study the effect of temperature(300 K, 500 K, 700 K) on the

diffusivity. Calculate activation energy.5. Compare the diffusivities with experimental values (ref:
