has been used to determine the effect of pressure on icosahedral (icos) order of Pd 50 Si 50
alloy system at nano-scale under different pressures. The icosahedral local order was
analysed with ideal icosahedral and defective icosahedral clusters in the system. The
Honeycutt-Andersen (HA) and cluster-type index (CTIM) methods have been proposed to
describe these clusters. The bond orientational order (BOO) parameters have been …
