Abstract
The atomic structural evolution of the molten Al85.5Ni9.5La5 alloy is investigated during cooling using an in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction method following indirect analysis by a reverse Monte Carlo simulation and Voronoi tessellation. The competition between crystal-like and non-crystal-like clusters is insignificant above liquidus. However, below liquidus, a sudden increase in the crystal-like clusters was found at slow cooling rates while at high cooling rates all clusters were frozen into a glassy state directly.
