Abstract
The local structural features of the A20B80 fullerene mixture (where A = C60 and B = C70) are studied by the molecular dynamics simulations for a wide temperature range, including the phase of an equilibrium liquid phase and a supercooled melt, in order to elucidate the mechanism of formation of the icosahedral short-range order in binary molecular liquids. Structural and cluster analyzes revealed the presence of icosahedral clusters in the supercooled melt phase and determined the critical glass transition temperature.
