Abstract
Fluctuations in the microstructure with chemical alloying of Fe multicomponent bulk metallic glasses were characterized via the pair density function analysis of neutron diffraction data. In the two systems investigated, (Fe/Mo)76P12C10B2 and Fe49Cr15Mo14Er1(C/B)21, it is shown that the atomic topology is sensitive to even small chemical fluctuations. In phosphorous containing glasses, (Fe/Mo)76P12C10B2, increasing the atomic percent of Mo brings about changes of the microstructure, particularly in the short-range environment involving Mo-C/B and Fe-P pair correlations. In Fe49Cr15Mo14Er1(C/B)21, the systematic increase of B results in a shift of the center of mass of the first coordination shell and an increase in the coordination of the second shell, reflecting a local rearrangement brought upon the substitution of B for C.
