Abstract
A dense random packing of 888 hard spheres has been relaxed with respect to a realistic interatomic potential. The result is compared to the experimental pair distribution function of amorphous Co and an amorphous Ni76P24 alloy. The positions of the maxima of the pair distribution function of Co are accurately reproduced. The differences between Co and Ni76P24 are discussed.Keywords
