Abstract

We report unexpectedly strong variations in the relaxational dynamics in a glass-forming metallic melt while microalloying. Analysis of quasielastic neutron scattering data revealed that changes in the values of stretching of the self-correlation function and the temperature dependence of self-diffusivity showed an Arrhenius to non-Arrhenius transition. The intermediate structure of the melts did not show any prepeak or indication of short range order. These observations are correlated with the enhanced glass-forming ability of metallic melts on microalloying. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
