It is well known that the formation and evolution characteristics of clusters and nano-clusters have been studied, both experimentally and theoretically over the years. Many experimental works were carried out by using physical or chemical methods, such as ionic spray, thermal evaporation, chemical action deposition, and so on, to obtain some nice particles or clusters consisted of dozens to hundreds of atoms in special configurations ( Echt et al, 1981; Knight et al, 1984; Harris et al, 1984; Schriver et al, 1990; Robles et al, 2002; Magudoapathy et al, 2001; Spiridis et al, 2001; Liu X H et al, 1998; Yamamoto et al, 2001; Bruhl R et al, 2004; Kostko et al, 2007; Alexander & Moshe, 2001) . The theoretical works were mainly carried out on diversified individual clusters configured by accumulating atoms according to some fixed pattern (Liu C. S. et al, 2001; Solov’yov et al, 2003; Doye & Meyer, 2005; Li H. & Pederiva, 2003; Ikeshoji et al, 1996; Wang L et al, 2002; Haberland et al., 2005; Joshi et al., 2006; Noya et al., 2007; Cabarcos et al., 1999; Orlando & James, 1999; Alfe, 2003). However, it is interesting that the similar clusters or aggregations have been found in some liquid metals during rapid solidification processes in our MD simulations ( Liu R. S. et al., 1992a, 1992b, 1995, 2002, 2005a, 2005b, 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2009; Dong K. J. et al., 2003; Liu F. X. et al., 2009; Hou Z. Y. et al., 2009, 2010a, 2010b) and that it is also important for understanding in depth the solidification processes from liquid state to solid state. Furthermore, the formation and evolution characteristics of cluster configurations, especially the nano-cluster configurations, formed during solidification processes of liquid metals are still not well known up to now.
