Five-fold symmetry as indicator of dynamic arrest in metallic glass-forming liquids
Open accessAbstract
With sufficient high cooling rates, a variety of liquids, including metallic melts, will cross a glass transition temperature and solidify into glass accompanying a marked increase of the shear viscosity in approximately 17 orders of magnitude. Because of the intricate atomic structure and dynamic behaviours of liquid, it is yet difficult to capture the underlying structural mechanism responsible for the marked slowing down during glass transition, which impedes deep understanding of the formation and nature of glasses. Here, we report that a universal structural indicator, the average degree of five-fold local symmetry, can well describe the slowdown dynamics during glass transition. A straightforward relationship between structural parameter and viscosity (or α-relaxation time) is introduced to connect the dynamic arrest and the underlying structural evolution. This finding would be helpful in understanding the long-standing challenges of glass transition mechanism in the structural perspective.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
