(a) Icosahedral SRO23 and (b, c) MRO24,25 exist in the inherent structure of the quenching process. The left figure shows the Zr50Cu40Al10 alloy results, whereas the right one shows the Cu50Zr50 (LJ) alloy results. (a) A fraction of icosahedral SRO, and (b, c) the average and maximum size of the MRO cluster composed of interpenetrating s*, smax, respectively. The definitions of average and maximum size are given in ref. 25. (d) Spatial distribution of icosahedral SRO and MRO24 in the 0 K inherent structure of the Zr50Cu40Al10 (left) and Cu50Zr50 (LJ; right) models constructed via the quenching process with (P=5 GPa) and without pressure (P=0 GPa).
