Abstract: | Since several decades, the dynamics and vitrification kinetics of supercooled liquids are the subject of active research in science and engineering. Profiting from modern detector technology and highly brilliant fourth-generation syn chrotron radiation, we apply temperature scanning X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to probe the dynamics of a Pt-based metallic glass former in the glass, glass transition region, and supercooled liquid, covering up to six orders of magnitude in timescales. Our data demonstrates that the structural α-relaxation process is still observable in the glass, although it is partially masked by a faster source of decorrelation observed at atomic scale. We present an approach that interprets these findings as the superposition of heterogeneous liquid-like and stress-driven ballistic-like atomic motions. This work not only extends the dynamical range probed by standard isothermal XPCS but also adds a different view on the α-relaxation across the glass tran sition and provides insights into the anomalous, compressed temporal decay of the density-density correlation functions observed in metallic glasses and many out-of-equilibrium soft materials. |
