Abstract
The recent observation of icosahedral atomic order in diffraction experiments from quasi-crystalline aluminium-manganese alloys had a precursor in the revelation by computer simulation of icosahedral bond orientational order in a supercooled monoatomic liquid.
The revelation by computer simulation of a short wavelength plasma oscillation in the partially ionic lithium lead liquid alloy has prompted an extension in that region of thermal neutron scattering experiments.
Computer simulation, and Molecular Dynamics in particular, is playing a central role in the investigation of the properties of liquid and amorphous metals and alloys. These two examples will be described in some detail.
