Electrostatic levitators have been around for more than 30 years and have become mature
tools for the material science community. Originally developed as positioners for materials …

Aluminum based alloys which contain transition metal elements with concentrations up to
25% and additional small quantities of silicon, have a wide variety of atomic structures with …

To explain the unusual stability of undercooled liquids against crystallization, Frank
hypothesized that the local structures of undercooled liquids contain a significant degree of …

The techniques of neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction, as applied to structural studies of
liquids and glasses, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the explanation and discussion of …

Experimental evidence of icosahedral short-range order in stable and deeply undercooled
melts of pure metallic elements is obtained using the combination of electromagnetic …

New short-range order data are presented for equilibrium and undercooled liquids of Ti and
Ni. These were obtained from in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements of …

We report on investigations on the atomic dynamics and the static structure factors of binary
Ni 36 Zr 64 alloy melts. In order to undercool the melts deeply below the melting temperature …

Crystallization is one of the most important phase transformations of first order. In the case of
metals and alloys, the liquid phase is the parent phase of materials production. The …

We have performed a series of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of Cu 64 Zr 36
alloy, in order to study the glass forming ability in connection to the local order. The results …

One of the most fundamental questions in the research field of undercooled melts is
concerned with the structural short-range order of melts, because the short-range order …
