The Identification of the Metallic Glass State
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
David Turnbull has been the most prominent figure in the identification of the metallic glass state. This paper reviews his many contributions: the free volume model for transport in simple liquids, the demonstration of a substantial crystal nucleation barrier in liquid metals, the prediction of the universality of the glass transition, the formulation of criteria for glass formation, the first demonstration of the characteristic glass transition phenomena in a metallic glass, and important contributions to the study of the structure and physical properties.
