The FeB nanoparticle (NP) consisting of 5000 particles (4500 Fe atoms and 500 B
atoms) has been investigated by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. When the
amorphous FeB nanoparticle is annealed at temperature of 900 K for a long time, it is crystallized
into bcc crystalline structure. The simulation shows that the sample undergoes crystallization via
the nucleation mechanism. During the crystallization, B atoms diffuse to the boundary region of Fe
crystal. The crystal growth proceeds when this boundary region attains specific properties which
are defined by the fraction of B atoms and the energies of AB-atoms and CB-atoms. Further our
study indicates that the crystal...
