Abstract

Thermodynamic analyst of the concentration fluctuations for large changes of composition, in undercooled liquid binary alloys is presented; a comparison between the Gibbs energy associated with their formation and the energy barrier for homogeneous nucleation is made. An extension of the MassalskiT o concept for glass forming ability is proposed. Two systems are examined: Au-Si and Bi-Sn.
