J. Rybicki et al., CRYSTALLIZATION AND GLASS-FORMATION IN LIQUID LEAD - A MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS STUDY, Computer physics communications, 97(1-2), 1996, pp. 185-190
The molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of crystallisation and glass f
ormation in liquid lead have been performed. Two series of calculation
s are presented. 1. Isochoric quenches down to 1 K of liquid densified
and rarefied lead at various cooling rates; 2. Isothermal (at 600K) c
ompression and decompression at various compression rates. The resulti
ng structures at 1K are analysed within the stochastic geometry method
s. The changes of the potential energy, and of the diffusion coefficie
nt during the pressure induced solidification are discussed.
