Abstract
The molecular dynamics simulations with embedded atom model (EAM) potential had performed to investigate the icosahedral network connectivity in Mg70Zn30 alloy. The microstructure was detected with a new precise method of largest standard cluster analysis. It was validated that the EAM potential is succeed in reflecting the objective physical nature of Mg-Zn alloy systems. Results shows that large amount of nanoclusters consist of ICOIs, which shows large connectivity variations, formed in the system with decreasing temperature. And the ICOIs connect over extended range act as backbone for a networked structure.
