Figure 1: Structure analysis in a macroscopically relaxed Cu64Zr36 metallic glass. (a): FI clusters (yellow atoms) are displayed with a RMSD smaller than 0.13 and are obtained from polyhedral template matching compared to an ideal reference configuration. (b): Local high densities of FI clusters (black circles) show lower von Mises stress and therefore lower distortion energy. (c): Entropy-based fingerprint showing that ordered regions of FI clusters have low entropy and high structural order.
