Chemical Short-Range-Ordering Effect on Structural Relaxation in Metallic Glasses
|
A model is proposed to address chemical effects on structural relaxation in metallic glasses. The atomic short range ordering (SRO) is described under the quasi-chemical approximation (QCA). Local chemical deviations from the ideal SRO are considered as an excess enthalpy. The simplified analysis of a disordered region's evolution is based on the notion of the collective bond exchange between neighboring atoms. The approach suggests a bimolecular mechanism with possibly large apparent activation energy for structural relaxation near the glass transitions.
