The short-range order and medium-range order of ternary Zr–Cu–Al and binary Zr–Cu metallic glasses (MGs) have been investigated. When substituting a few percent of Al for Zr in the Zr–Cu alloy, the resultant ternary alloy exhibits more full icosahedra. Furthermore, the number of Zr icosahedral atoms...
