Molecular dynamics study of local atomic structures in liquid metals — •Magnus Kreth and Peter Entel — Institut für Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, 47048 Duisburg

In this work we study local atomic structures in liquid aluminum and iron using molecular dynamics simulations. Interatomic interactions are modelled using an embedded-atom method potential. Local atomic structures in the liquid are identified using a common-neighbor analysis. Static structure factors are calculated from the pair distribution function to compare our results with recent neutron diffraction experiments on liquid metals.
