In glassy materials, the Johari-Goldstein secondary (β) relaxation is crucial to many properties as it directly related local atomic motions. However, a long-standing puzzle remains elusive: why some glasses exhibit β relaxations pronounced peaks while others present unobvious excess wings? Using microsecond atomistic simulation of two model metallic (MGs), we demonstrate that such difference associated with number string-like collective jumps. Relative wings, find MGs having contain larger...
Relaxation processes significantly influence the properties of glass materials. However, understanding their specific origins is difficult; even more challenging to forecast them theoretically. In this study, using microseconds molecular dynamics simulations together with an accurate many-body interaction potential, we predict that Al_{90}Sm_{10} metallic would have complex relaxation behaviors: addition main (α) relaxation, (i) shows a pronounced secondary (β) at cryogenic temperatures and...
