Probing the liquid behavior in La-based metallic glasses using NMR spectroscopy

ORAL

Abstract

The nature of liquid structure and its temperature and/or pressure dependent behavior is currently an active area of scientific investigation. Temperature dependent $^{27}$Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were carried out above the liquid temperature in La-based metallic glasses. The strong coexistence of two liquid states was observed in addition to nonlinear liquid behavior. NMR results also provide thermodynamic insight for the structural changes observed.
