Abstract The glass-forming ability (GFA) of metallic glasses is a key scientific challenge in their development and application, with compositional dependence playing a crucial role. Experimental studies have demonstrated that the addition of specific minor elements can greatly enhance the GFA of parent alloys, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we use the ZrCuAl system as a model to explore how the addition of minor Al influences the crystallization rate by modulating the properties of the crystal-liquid interface, thereby affecting the GFA. The results reveal that the minor addition of Al significantly reduces the crystal growth rate, a phenomenon not governed by particle density fluctuations at the interface. The impact of minor element additions extends beyond a modest increase in crystal-unfavorable motifs in the bulk supercooled liquid. More importantly, it leads to a significant enrichment of these motifs at the crystal-supercooled liquid interface, forming a dense topological network of crystal-unfavorable structures that effectively prevent the growth of the crystalline interface and enhance GFA. Our results provide valuable insights for the design and development of high-performance metallic glasses.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
