Abstract

Many workers have recently conjectured that the underlying forces responsible for icosahedral clustering in crystals may also explain the origin of metallic glass formation. Critical examination of thermochemical structural diagrams and radial distribution functions of good metallic glasses shows that this assertion is unfounded.
