Abstract

Testing one's metal Glasses come in many forms. For the specific case of metallic glasses, multiple components are usually required to avoid crystallization during normal liquid cooling. (The one notable exception is the two-component metallic glass Zr50Cu50.) Now Bhat et al. have made use of recent theoretical insights into the factors controlling glass formation to determine the experimental conditions for successful vitrification of metallic liquid germanium. Not only have they created the first monatomic metallic glass, they also find evidence for a rare liquid–liquid phase transition in this system.
