Classic molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to monitor the solid and liquid-like regions in Zr46Cu46Al8 metallic glass. Based on Voronoi tessellation analysis, this work illustrates that the medium range networks are related to the local fivefold symmetry. Not only atoms with high degree...
