Abstract
The relation between the annealing temperature dependence of the structural inhomogeneity and the diffusion coefficient in a metallic glass forming system Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be is studied by using reported experimental data. It is shown that the diffusion coefficient increases with the increase of the correlation length of the structural inhomogeneity. Interestingly, the result found resembles the behavior known in superionic glasses. A discussion on the found relationship is given by exploiting the model for the superionic glasses proposed by the author. Based on the model, an inhomogeneity dependent diffusivity maximum is predicted.
