Atomic Level Structure in Multicomponent Bulk Metallic Glass

Cheng, Y. Q., Ma, E., Sheng, H. W.·2009·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The atomic-level structure of a representative ternary Cu-Zr-Al bulk metallic glass (BMG) has been resolved. Cu- (and Al-) centered icosahedral clusters are identified as the basic local structural motifs. Compared with the Cu-Zr base binary, a small percentage of Al in the ternary BMG leads to dramatically increased population of full icosahedra and their spatial connectivity. The stabilizing effect of Al is not merely topological, but also has its origin in the electronic interactions and bond shortening.

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.
