Molecular dynamic simulation of the crystallization of liquid iron nanoparticles
Molecular dynamic simulation of the crystallization of liquid iron nanoparticles
The crystallization of liquid iron nanoparticles has been investigated by means of molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The simulation result shows that when the liquid iron samples are cooled from 2500 K to 300 K at a cooling rate of 0.667 K/ps, they are crystallized into body centered cubic (BCC) phase.
