Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on a plastic crystal model (PCM) were performed for a Pd0.4Ni0.4P0.2 alloy in Metal-Metalloid (M-MLD) type of bulk metallic glass (BMG). Two kinds of clusters of cubeoctahedron capped with four half-octahedra and trigonal prism were used as initial atomic arrangements of the Pd0.4Ni0.4P0.2 alloy. Random rotations of clusters around their centers of gravity and subsequent structural relaxation vitrified the alloy. The high glass-forming ability of the Pd0.4Ni0.4P0.2 alloy is due to the critically-percolated, cluster-packed structure that is a universal feature for both M-MLD and M-M types of BMGs.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for a Zr2Ni alloy by referring to crystallographic features of a metastable Zr2Ni phase. Simulation method was identical to our previous studies named plastic crystal model (PCM), which includes crystallographic operations for an intermetallic compound in terms of the random rotations of hypothetical clusters around their center of gravity and subsequent annealing at a low temperature. On the basis of MD-PCM, the present study considers an additional refinement named united atom scheme (UAS) on the motions of atoms in the hypothetical clusters. In MD-PCM-UAS, Dreiding potential was assigned for atomic bonds in a cluster whereas Generalized Embedded Atom Method potential for the other atomic pairs. The simulation results by MD-PCM-UAS yield a liquid-like structure. However, annealing did not cause subsequent structural relaxation, which differs from the results by MD-PCM and conventional MD simulations. Further simulations based on MD-PCM-UAS were performed for a nanostructure comprising clusters and glue atoms, leading to the best fit with the experimental data.
