The Interface of a Growing Zr-Ni Crystal — •Philipp Kuhn and Jürgen Horbach — Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Institut für Materialphysik im Weltraum, Köln

Crystal growth of intermetallic phases in binary metallic alloys proceeds at a considerably slower pace than that of pure metals. As an example the growth in Zr-Ni is two orders of magnitude slower than that for pure Ni [1]. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of pure Ni and Zr-Ni systems to elucidate the mechanism behind this phenomenon. As an interaction model an embedded atom potential is used [2]. We utilize local order parameters to distinguish between solid and liquid particles and combine them in the form of two-dimensional maps [3] as a tool to analyze the structure of the layers in the interface region. This analysis serves as a prerequisite to determine the kinetics of mass transport in the interface region.
