Abstract
Using high energy synchrotron x-ray radiation combined with electrostatic levitation, in situ structural analysis of a bulk metallic glass forming liquid is performed from above the liquidus temperature down to the glass transition. The data indicate a liquid-liquid transition (LLT) in the deeply undercooled state at T/Tg∼1.2 which manifests as a maximum in the heat capacity and an abrupt shift in the first peak position of the total structure factor in the absence of a pronounced density change. Analysis of the corresponding real-space data shows that the LLT involves changes in short- and medium-range order. The structural changes on the length scale of medium-range order imply a fragile-strong transition in agreement with experimental viscosity data.
