Crossover of microscopic dynamics in metallic supercooled liquid observed by NMR.

چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance is used to characterize local atomic motions in the glassy and supercooled liquid states of the bulk metallic glass system Pd43Ni10Cu27P20. The temperature dependence of the Knight shift reveals that certain local atomic motion decreases rapidly below a crossover temperature T(c) down to the glass transition temperature T(g). Above T(c) as well as below T(g) the mean-squared amplitude of local motions depends linearly on the temperature. The observed gradual transition below T(c) is inconsistent with heterogeneity effects. It reveals that qualitative changes of microscopic properties in the supercooled liquid take place at temperatures significantly above T(g).

Liquid-liquid transition in supercooled silicon determined by first-principles simulation.
First-principles molecular dynamics simulations reveal a liquid-liquid phase transition in supercooled elemental silicon. Two phases coexist below Tc approximately 1232 K and above pc approximately -12 kB. The low-density phase is nearly tetracoordinated, with a pseudogap at the Fermi surface, while the high-density phase is more highly coordinated and metallic in nature. The transition is obse...
متن کاملLength scale for the onset of Fickian diffusion in super- cooled liquids
– The interplay between self-diffusion and excitation lines in space-time was recently studied in kinetically constrained models to explain the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein law in supercooled liquids. Here, we further examine this interplay and its manifestation in incoherent scattering functions. In particular, we establish a dynamic length scale below which Fickian diffusion breaks down, ...
متن کاملDynamics in supercooled liquids and in the isotropic phase of liquid crystals: A comparison
A comparison is made of the dynamics observed over wide ranges of time and temperature between five supercooled liquids and four isotropic phase liquid crystals that have been previously studied separately. Optical-heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect ~OHD–OKE! measurements were employed to obtain the orientational relaxation dynamics over time scales from sub-ps to tens of ns. For the super...
متن کاملNMR studies on the temperature-dependent dynamics of confined water.
We use (2)H NMR to study the rotational motion of supercooled water in silica pores of various diameters, specifically, in the MCM-41 materials C10, C12, and C14. Combination of spin-lattice relaxation, line-shape, and stimulated-echo analyses allows us to determine correlation times in very broad time and temperature ranges. For the studied pore diameters, 2.1-2.9 nm, we find two crossovers in...
متن کاملParticle dynamics and the development of string-like motion in a simulated monoatomic supercooled liquid.
The microscopic details of local particle dynamics is studied in a glass-forming one component supercooled liquid modeled by a Dzugutov potential developed for simple metallic glass formers. Our main goal is to investigate particle motion in the supercooled liquid state, and to ascertain the extent to which this motion is cooperative and occurring in quasi-one-dimesional, string-like paths. To ...
