Understanding the structural characteristics of amorphous alloys at the atomic scale is crucial for elucidating their unique mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties. However, the absence of long-range order in these materials poses significant challenges for conventional structural analysis techniques. This work presents a GPU-accelerated software framework designed for high-throughput processing and quantitative analysis of High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images to reveal hidden atomic orderliness in amorphous alloys. The proposed system integrates parallelized image preprocessing, processing, atom detection, radius-based clustering, and graph-theoretical and entropy-based metrics to quantify short- and medium-range order. A modular architecture enables efficient GPU computation using CUDA, CuPy, and optimized memory strategies, achieving speedups of up to 220× compared to CPU implementations. Validation was conducted on both simulated datasets (FeB, CoNiFeSiB) and real HRTEM images of amorphous alloys (CoP, NiW, Fe-based 71КНСР). Results demonstrate strong correlations between cluster size, bond angle distributions, and entropy metrics with macroscopic material properties such as hardness and thermal stability. Larger clusters and obtuse bond angles were found to indicate increased local structural order, while entropy measures provided sensitive discrimination of disorder.
This article unveils EMICA, a Python-based software tool revolutionizing electron microscopy image processing for amorphous alloys. EMICA addresses the unique challenges posed by these materials, which lack long-range order, by providing specialized capabilities for cluster analysis and spatial pattern recognition. This research explored software tool development and application through illustrative examples, answering the key question of how they enhance amorphous alloy analysis. By integrating advanced image processing techniques and algorithms, EMICA uncovers hidden patterns, offering quantitative insights into cluster distributions. The key message emphasizes the application's transformative impact on material science research, providing a specialized solution for electron microscopy image analysis in the amorphous alloy domain. Our key findings, presented through real-world examples and case studies, attest to the efficacy of the software in revealing nuanced details of amorphous alloy structures. From identifying subtle variations in atomic configurations to quantifying cluster distributions, EMICA represents a significant leap forward in the field of advanced electron microscopy image processing, contributing significantly to the advancement of this domain.
In this study, we explored the atomic structure and orderliness of amorphous alloys through advanced electron microscopy and analytical techniques. Amorphous alloys, characterized by disordered atomic structures, exhibit promising applications in technology. The research addresses a crucial knowledge gap by investigating cluster distribution, particle arrangement, and orderliness within the amorphous matrix. High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) images are analyzed using diverse algorithms and software tools. The study establishes a correlation between angles approaching 180 degrees and increased orderliness within clusters, highlighting the reliability of angle distribution analysis. Robust indicators, including Div (SP(B/V)) and Div (Mu(B/V)) metrics, assess and compare amorphous alloy samples. Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence indicates the significance of cluster ordering, validated by the S-K test. Radial Distribution Function (RDF) analysis uncovers local short-range order, deepening understanding despite limited orderliness discernment. These findings not only enhance our understanding of metallic glasses or amorphous alloys but also offer opportunities for tailored design and improved applications across various technological domains.
