Abstract

Glass formation by ns and ps laser quenching is investigated for the systems Au-Ti, Co-Ti, Cr-Ti and Zr-Ti. Glassy phases are found in all but the last system. These results (as well as earlier ones) show little correlation with published rules to predict glass forming ability, but are consistent with the kinetic analysis presented. Simple Physical parameters related to glass forming ability are discussed. Comparison with results for Cr-Ti allows a determination of the nucleation time-lag.
