摘  要：
Describing the structure of amorphous materials such as metallic glasses and understanding the glass formation have been longstanding challenges in materials science. Despite enormous efforts and progress that have been made during the past several decades, a rational glass transition mechanism of real alloy systems is still absent. In this talk, I will talk about a distinct medium-range arrangement motif and an icosahedral two-phase structure observed in ZrCu binary metallic glasses. We find that the glass structure is a heterogeneous mixture of interpenetrating 13-atom icosahedral clusters connected in a string-like fashion forming a solid-like backbone network within a liquid-like matrix. A significant self-aggregation effect of icosahedral short-range order (ISRO) in high temperature ZrCu liquids is also discovered, which is highly consistent with that observed in atomic models of corresponding glass system. It is found that the development of ISRO upon cooling is driving the system into dynamical arrest. Moreover, the aggregation of ISRO remarkably enhances this effect and provides a positive feedback for the development of ISRO in the system. Due to its intrinsic non-space-filling character, the self-aggregation of ISRO results in a string-like network, expanding the slowing effects to a large portion of the system. When the network percolates, dynamics in the whole system is arrested, leading to a glass transition.
