[Download]Name: Hu Y. C. et al.(2018) Configuration correlation governs slow dynamics of supercooled metallic liquids

Class: 2018

Content:
The origin of dramatic slowing down of dynamics in metallic glass-forming liquids toward their glass transition temperatures is a fundamental but unresolved issue. Through extensive molecular dynamics simulations, here we show that, contrary to the previous beliefs, it is not local geometrical orderings extracted from instantaneous configurations but the intrinsic correlation between configurations that captures the structural origin governing slow 
dynamics. More significantly, it is demonstrated by scaling analyses that it is the correlation …
