Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Structural Characterization of Elastic and Inelastic Deformation in ZrCu Metallic Glasses
Figure 4
(a) Fraction of Cu-centered full icosahedra at different strains during compression deformation. (b) Fractions of Cu-centered full icosahedra as a function of relaxation time. To show whether the drop of the numbers of the Cu-centered full icosahedra can recover to the initial fraction, relaxation of the sample compressed by 0%, 2%, and 5% compressive strain, respectively, is analyzed.
