金属玻璃异常Sub-Tg弛豫行为及其与液体动力学性质的相关性研究

The relaxation behavior of metallic glasses is a frontier problem, as well as a hot issue, in condensed matter physics and material science. The study of the correlation between the abnormal sub-Tg relaxation in metallic glasses (MGs) and kinetic properties of corresponding alloy liquids is of great importance not only for better understanding the nature of glass transition, improving the stability of MGs, uncovering the microstructural inheritance during the liquid-solid transformation, but also for promoting the standardization during the production and treatment technology of MGs. In this project, we start with the characteristic of abnormal sub-Tg relaxation patterns in different hyperquenched MG ribbons. Then, we focus on investigating how these characteristic of the sub-Tg relaxation anomaly in glassy solids is linked to abnormal kinetic properties in the corresponding alloy liquids, i.e., the fragile-to-strong transition and the liquid-liquid phase transition. On the bridge of clusters, we attempt to reveal the dominant structure units determining this link and further uncover the evolution of these structure units during cooling. The nature of the microstructures that determines the abnormal sub-Tg relaxation during cooling from the superheated liquid to supercooled liquid to glass transition could be discovered. By introducing an additional factor representing the kinetic properties of alloy liquids to the improved thermodynamic model that predicts the monotonic enthalpy evolution of metallic glasses, a perfect model that could quantitatively predict the abnormal relaxation behaviors in hyperquenched MGs, as well as the non-monotonic enthalpy relaxation manner, will be obtained.
