摘要:

过冷液体在其原子排列的波动动力学中表现出空间不均匀性。非均相动力学的长度和时间尺度是玻璃化转变的核心,并影响晶体从液体成核和生长。我们报告的直接实验可视化的空间非均匀动力学作为一个函数的温度在过冷液体状态的Pt基金属玻璃,使用电子相关显微镜与亚纳米分辨率。实验的四点时空强度关联函数表明,当液体冷却到玻璃化转变温度时,动态相关长度$ξ$不断增长。$ξ$作为弛豫时间的函数$τ$数据与玻璃化转变的Adam-Gibbs、非均匀模耦合理论和随机一级转变理论符合得很好。同样的实验表明,存在一个纳米厚度的表面层附近的数量级较短的弛豫时间比内部的散装。

英文摘要:

Supercooled liquids exhibit spatial heterogeneity in the dynamics of their fluctuating atomic arrangements. The length and time scales of the heterogeneous dynamics are central to the glass transition and influence nucleation and growth of crystals from the liquid. We report direct experimental visualization of the spatially heterogeneous dynamics as a function of temperature in the supercooled liquid state of a Pt-based metallic glass, using electron correlation microscopy with sub-nanometer resolution. An experimental four point space-time intensity correlation function demonstrates a growing dynamic correlation length, $ξ$, upon cooling of the liquid toward the glass transition temperature. $ξ$ as a function of the relaxation time $τ$ data are in the good agreement with the Adam-Gibbs, inhomogeneous mode coupling theory and random first order transition theory of the glass transition. The same experiments demonstrate the existence of a nanometer thickness near surface layer with order of magnitude shorter relaxation time than inside the bulk.
