Study of structural anisotropy in Zr-Cu bulk metallic glasses under uniaxial compression by computer simulations — •Yue Zhang1, Nobert Mattern1, Gang Wang1, and Jürgen Eckert1, 2 — 1IFW Dresden, Institute for Complex Materials, Helmholtzstr.20, D-01069 Dresden, Germany — 2Institute of Materials Science, TU Dresden, D-01062 Dresden, Germany
The atomic structures of Zr35.5Cu64.5 and Zr50Cu50 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under uniaxial compression are studied by reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) and molecular dynamic simulations. The data obtained from in-situ high energy synchrotron diffraction were fitted using RMC simulation. The dynamic structural change during uniaxial compression is studied from both the short range order (SRO) and medium range order (MRO) aspects. The structural anisotropy is characterized by performing Voronoi tessellation, common neighbor and Honeycutt-Anderson analyses to the resulting atomic configurations. Finally, the relationship between MRO and the distribution of icosahedra is discussed.
