Quantifying the origin of metallic glass formation

The crystal formation waiting time of a homogeneous supercooled liquid exhibits a pronounced minimum depending on temperature, and this minimum is a measure of glass forming ability. Here, the authors propose an expression for this minimum for all metallic glasses that depends only on two fitting pa...
