Figure 1

Ternary liquidus iso-surfaces of the Mg-rich regions in the (a) Mg–Ag–Ca, (b) Mg–Ag–Yb, (c) Mg–Pd–Ca, and (d) Mg–Pd–Yb alloy systems, determined using DSC data and binary phase diagram information30, 33, 35, 36. Also shown are the glass-forming alloy compositions tested, their relative glass-forming abilities (critical casting diameters) and the efficiently-packed cluster regions determined, where blue indicates Ag- or Pd-centred clusters, green Mg-centred clusters and red Ca- or Yb-centred clusters.
