In this work, molecular dynamics simulation was implemented to model the ion irradiation effects on the Cu 60 Zr 40 MG with different thermal histories and varied structural heterogeneities. The initial results indicated that the performance of an annealing–quench treatment on the MG induces the atomic configurations with different heterogeneities and potential energy values. The subsequent ion irradiation process also demonstrated that an optimized atomic structure was occurred for achieving maximum rejuvenation and ductility in the CuZr glassy alloy. It was unveiled that the intermediate initial heterogeneity provides an efficient pathway for maximizing the atomic rearrangements under the ion irradiation. It was also suggested that the medium population of Cu-centered clusters in the initial state facilitated the atomic rearrangements during the ion irradiation process. The structural characteristics and atomic reconfigurations for attaining the optimum ductility is discussed in details. ## Keywords - Materials science - Irradiation - Ductility (Earth science) - Ion - Annealing (glass) - Molecular dynamics - Amorphous metal - Alloy - Thermal - Metal - Atomic physics - Composite material - Metallurgy - Thermodynamics - Computational chemistry - Nuclear physics - Physics - Creep - Chemistry - Quantum mechanics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
