In this work we investigate the atomic structure of CuZr and Cu50Zr45Al5 metallic glasses in view of their glass-forming ability and mechanical properties. Using a combination of the state-of-the-art experimental techniques (synchrotron X-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy and neutron diffraction), reverse Monte-Carlo simulation and Molecular Dynamics modelling we have obtained partial pair distribution functions, coordination numbers and bond lengths for the glasses studied. Remarkable differences are found for the total as well as for the partial pair distributions in the CuZr and Cu50Zr45Al5 metallic glasses, especially for the Cu-Cu and Zr-Zr pairs at the second and higher coordination shells, suggesting important role of the medium-range order in the glass formation and in the mechanical behaviour.
