Abstract:Efficient atomic packing is shown to be a fundamental consideration in the formation of metallic glasses. A simple concept of packing efficiency, based on atom packing in the first coordination shell of solute-centred clusters, is proposed and developed. This model leads to the prediction that specific radius ratios, defined as the radius of the solute atom divided by the radius of the solvent atom, are preferred in the constitution of metallic glasses. Analysis of a large number of binary and complex metallic glasses shows that these specific critical radius ratios R* are indeed preferred in known metallic glasses. The predictions of this model extend previous proposals to describe the influence of topology on the formation of metallic glasses. Although this model represents a simple idealization, the strong agreement with published metallic glasses suggests that efficient atomic packing, enabled by solute-centred clusters, forms a fundamental consideration in the constitution of metallic glasses.
