Solidification of Liquid Fe with Embedded Homogeneous Solid Fe Nanoparticles from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

1.
Solidification processes of liquid Fe with embedded homogeneous solid nanoparticle with radius ranging from 0.4 to 1.8 nm were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation adopting the Sutton-Chen potential. It was found that the particles whose radii exceed 0.82 nm could obviously decrease the critical undercooling (ΔT^*) and induce solidification. The microstructural evolution during the solidification process was traced through the atom definition with cluster-type index method (CTIM-2). Results revealed that when the embedded particle induced solidification, the growth process of nucleus would proceed as a cross-nucleation between hcp and fcc structures, a little similar to the eutectic crystallization process. Moreover, the heredity effect attributed by embedded solid nanoparticle was clearly observed during the microstructural evolution.
