Abstract:
This work presents investigations on the short-range order of stable and deeply undercooled melts of the pure elements Fe, Zr and Ni. The liquids were undercooled by use of the electromagnetic levitation technique, which was combined with elastic neutron scattering in order to determine the structure factors of the liquids as a function of the temperature. The diffraction experiments provide evidence that a short-range order based on aggregates of icosahedral symmetry prevails in the melt. This short-range order is observed even at temperatures above the melting temperature and gets more pronounced if the liquids are undercooled.
