Description of glass transition of Zr50Cu44Al6 alloy in MD simulations. (a) The reduced volume V r and (b) the reduced potential engergy PE r against the temperature show an elevated glass transition temperature with the increasing hydrostatic pressure. (c) The atomic volume contracts at a certain temperature due to the applied hydrostatic pressure. In other words, the Zr50Cu44Al6 MG is densified, which is proved by the shift of the first and second peak position towards a smaller radial distance on the g(r) curve shown in (d).
