Quantifying the origin of metallic glass formation

The crystal formation waiting time of a homogeneous supercooled liquid exhibits a pronounced minimum depending on temperature, and this minimum is a measure of glass forming ability. Here, the authors propose an expression for this minimum for all metallic glasses that depends only on two fitting pa...

description The crystal formation waiting time of a homogeneous supercooled liquid exhibits a pronounced minimum depending on temperature, and this minimum is a measure of glass forming ability. Here, the authors propose an expression for this minimum for all metallic glasses that depends only on two fitting parameters.
