In order to investigate the relationship between the bonding nature and the cooperative relaxation, a comparative study of the relaxation behavior in polymeric and metallic glass forming systems has been performed based on the Bond Strength–Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model developed by the authors. In the present work, we studied the correlations between the fragility m, the Vogel temperature T0, the degree of molecular cooperativity NB, and the Kohlrausch exponent βKWW. The results show that T0 and NB increase, whereas βKWW decreases systematically with the increase of m. Reflecting the difference of the interatomic interactions of the materials considered, the analysis by the present study reveals that the value of NB in ion-conducing polymers is about 5 times larger than that in metallic systems, and for each system, the material dependence of βKWW is clearly seen in the fragility index m and the cooperativity NB.

Different reactivity of ions has been implanted into Zr-Cu metallic glass to obtain nano-structured surface with controlled elasticity. The penetration of glass forming element of Ni+ into crystalline Zr-Cu stabilizes glassy phase to induce crystalline-amorphous (c-a) transition during implantation process. In the meanwhile, penetration of N+ into glassy matrix induces precipitation of (Zr, Cu)N at the mean penetration depth of N. Critical N concentration for nitride formation is estimated to be (Zr,Cu)-20at%N, which also suggests existing of N solid solution of glassy phase. Inert element of Ar+ yields dispersion of nano-voids among glassy matrix. Nano-indentation tests reveal that Young’s modulus of ion implanted glassy film dramatically changes with respect to the induced nano-structure, to decrease 0.4 times for Ar+, to increase 1.3 times for N+ as comparison with that for as-deposited state.

ABSTRACTThe viscosities of the Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 and the Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass forming liquids was determined from the melting point down to the glass transition in the entire temperature range of the supercooled liquid. The temperature dependence of the viscosity in the supercooled liquid obeys the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) relation. The fragility index D is about 20 for both alloys and the ratio between glass transition temperature and VFT temperature is found to be 1.5. A comparison with other glass forming systems shows that these bulk metallic glass formers are strong liquids comparable to sodium silicate glass. Furthermore, they are the strongest among metallic glass forming liquids. This behavior is a main contributing factor to the glass forming ability since it implicates a higher viscosity from the melting point down to the glass transition compared to other metallic liquids. Thus, the kinetics in the supercooled liquid is sluggish and yields a low critical cooling rate for glass formation. The relaxation behavior in the glass transition region of the alloys is consistent with their strong glassy nature as reflected by a stretching exponent that is close to 0.8. The microscopic origin of the strong liquid behavior of bulk metallic glass formers is discussed.
