We report on first quasielastic neutron scattering experiments on metallic droplets using an electromagnetic levitation device on the neutron time of flight spectrometer ToF-ToF of the FRM-II. With this containerless processing undercoolings of the liquids up to 230K below the melting point were achieved. In binary ZrNi and ternary ZrNiAl glass forming melts the undercooling leads to a slowing down of the atomic mobility. The relation to the atomic dynamics in bulk glass forming metallic alloys in a Zr base will be discussed. We measured static structure factors of these systems on the neutron diffractometer D20 of the ILL. By isotopic substitution partial structure factors are accessible in liquid ZrNi. The partial structure factors also serve as an input for numerical mode coupling calculations.
