Abstract:
Simulation of amorphous metals (Al and Ti) and their contact are carried out by methods of the density functional theory. It is shown that amorphous metals can demonstrate approximately the same cohesive energy that crystalline metals. Densities of electronic states were calculated and compared for amorphous and crystalline metal states. Values of adhesion energy for contacts “crystal - crystal”, “crystal - amorphous system”, and “amorphous system - amorphous system” were compared.
