Abstract
This work aims to investigate the effect of Pt concentration on crystal growth mechanism of Platinum-Palladium (Pt-Pd) binary alloy system during the annealing process starting from amorphous phase until some definite temperatures. The calculations have been performed by using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. Interatomic interactions are described by on Sutton-Chen type Embedded Atom Potential Energy function. In order to understand the main structural properties at the stable and unstable phases, changes in RDF curves versus time have been analysed for different annealing temperatures. Crystalline type bonded pairs have been determined using MD calculations which is required for the computation of Avrami coefficients and for understanding crystal growth mechanism. The results demonstrate that the increase in concentration of Pt during annealing leads to migration of atoms in the crystal lattice points, elimination of dislocations and formation of perfect crystal structure.
