Stability and Structure of the Interface between a Metallic Glass and Its Congruent Crystal Phases

Abstract

This brief report covers studies of the stability of a well-characterized model of a metal-metalloid glassy alloy (A3B) in contact with a planar surface of a stable congruent crystal (i.e., crystal with the same composition as the glass) through computer simulations based on a NPT symplectic algorithm based on Nose-Hoover constraints developed recently by Laird.
