Molecular-dynamic simulation of two systems comprising 256 Al atoms each with the Heine-Abarenkov-Animalu interatomic interaction potential is reported. In one system, the potential was truncated after the first minim.um, and in tJ1e other, the first three minima were retained. An analysis of Voronoi polyhedrons shows that strengthening of the oscillating long-range interaction potential in molecular-dynamics experiments promotes enhanced amorphization of the system.
