A molecular dynamics simulation of 500 particles has been carried out to st
udy the microstructure in the supercooled liquid and glassy states of metal
lic Al3Fe. Clusters exist in form of pairs and polyhedra. Using pair analys
is, the relative number of bonded pairs and the bond orientation order para
meters have been calculated. The pair correlation function from simulation
is coincident with results from X-ray experiments. MST/4248 (C) 2000 IoM Co
