Role of valence electrons for formation of glassy alloys

Abstract The role of valence electrons for formation of glassy alloys was investigated as a function of their valence electron concentration (VEC). The glass transition temperature Tg of 121 kinds of glassy alloys can be expressed as a linear function of VEC: Tg = 131VEC + 65 (2.3
