Abstract

The structural evolution and dynamic properties of liquid Ag89Si11 eutectic alloy during rapid cooling were explored by ab initio molecular dynamics. The calculated pair distribution functions and structure factors at 1173 K agree well with the experimental reference data. The comprehensive analyses including Honeycutt-Andersen index, Voronoi tessellation, and atomistic cluster alignment reveal a gradual enhancement of chemical short-range order with the decreasing temperature and a dominant structural shifting towards perfect and distorted icosahedra. Additionally, the dynamic properties of liquid Ag89Si11 eutectic alloy were obtained and the diffusion coefficients follow Arrhenius relationship.
