Recently, we reported a strong decoupling of Zr-95 and Co-57 radiotracer diffusivities in a bulk metallic glass forming Zr_46.75Ti_8.25Cu_7.5Ni₁₀Be_27.5 melt (Vitreloy 4) far above the liquidus temperature [1] suggesting the development of solid-like, i.e. energy-landscape controlled, features already in the stable liquid state more than 300 K above the mode coupling T_c [1]. Meanwhile, we performed similar simultaneous radiotracer diffusion experiment of Co-57 and of Zr-95 in binary Zr-Ni and ternary Zr-Ni-Al alloys with a largely reduced glass-forming ability above the liquidus temperature. Here, a much less pronounced decoupling was observed. The results will be discussed in terms of recent theoretical approaches on atomic dynamics of metallic melts.
