Abstract

Dynamic mechanical relaxation measurements are performed on a Ce-based metallic supercooled liquid close to its glass transition temperature T g. An obvious excess wing is observed both in the temperature and frequency dependent loss modulus curves by the calculation the relaxation time of the α-relaxation in supercooled liquid with the fit by the combination of the Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts and Vogel–Fulcher–Tamman equation. The results indicate that the slow β-relaxation process exists in the metallic liquid and arises from the small-scale translational motions of atoms that are linked in its metastable islands.
