Abstract

The molecular dynamics study of structural, mechanical and vibrational properties of crystalline and amorphous gallium alloys was carried out. For the crystalline phase it was found that Ga-As and In-As bond lengths vary only slightly for different compositions. However, for the amorphous phase, the nearest neighbor cation-anion distribution splits into well-defined As-Ga and As-In peaks as in the crystal phase.
