(color online) (a) The curves at different temperatures, calculated by subtracting the S(Q) at 1024.21 K, which is above T *. The red arrow indicates the position of a Bragg peak developed below ∼850 K. This method is sensitive to as low as volume fraction transformed. (b) The integrated intensity of the identified crystalline peak in . The indicated by a red arrow shows the onset temperature of crystallization. The red line is a linear fit of data above T x . (c) The evolution of liquid ordering can be observed using reduced PDFs . The red arrows indicate the first and second coordination shells. The black arrow identifies a shoulder peak that formed below T *. (d) The integrated intensities of the shoulder peak of r 2 (green circles) and the first peak r 1 (blue triangles) as a function of temperature during cooling.
