In this study, using molecular dynamics simulations in combination with the embedded-atom
approach, we investigate the effect of cooling rate on the microstructural evolution and the
glass formation process of Silver monatomic metallic glass. In order to accomplish our
investigation, we have utilised a variety of analytical techniques, including the pair
distribution function, the bond angle distribution, the Voronoi tessellation analysis, the
coordination number, and the five-fold symmetry. The splitting of the second peak in the pair …
