Abstract:
It is shown by computer simulation of the Al-Si solid solution that at the first stages of Si precipitates formation the small Si clusters arise in the tetrahedral configurations. This process is accompanied by the effect of Al atom forcing out from the lattice site by
one of the Si atoms of nuclei.
