Investigation of structural evolution in the Cu–Zr metallic glass at cryogenic temperatures by using molecular dynamics simulations

Investigation of structural evolution of Cu33Zr67 specimen during the cooling process from 2500 down to the 300 K, 200 K, 150 K, 100 K, 50 K, and 10 K has been performed at cooling rate of 5 K/ps using molecular dynamics simulation and reveals that Zr‒Zr pair causes the splitting of the first peak of the Cu33 Zr67 glass at a lower temperature with an increase in height.
