Amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses, exhibit extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic behavior and high corrosion resistance. These novel materials could be very important in the future of commercial and defense industies. This simulation of the magnetic structure of FeZrB metallic glasses employs the "LSMS" code on a 100-atom unit cell that models an amorphous structure of FeZrB.

The red, grey and blue balls in the figure represent Fe, Zr, and B atoms.
