We have developed atomic-scale material models capable of melting, crystallization and amorphization. These models feature molecular dynamics governed by Langevin equations of motion in which particle interact through attractive covalent forces and short-range repulsion forces. Also, we present an interactive virtual visualization tool for the simulation of atomic scale material behavior. An ap...

We investigated chemical and physical processes in electron-irradiated ammonia-water ices at temperatures of 10 and 50 K. Chemically speaking, the formation of hydroxylamine (NH(2)OH) was observed in electron-irradiated ammonia-water ices. The synthesis of molecular hydrogen (H(2)), molecular nitrogen (N(2)), molecular oxygen (O(2)), hydrazine (N(2)H(4)), and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), which...

We have studied the amorphization behavior of Mg85KxY15Cux (xZ20–40) alloy powders synthesized by mechanical alloying technique. The as-milled powders were mainly amorphous after 10 h of milling. The thermal stability of these Mg85KxY15Cux glassy powders was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The ranges of Tg, Tx and DTx are around 430–459, 467–497, and 30–46 K, respective...
