title: Relaxation time dispersions in glass forming metallic liquids and glasses.
abstract: Relaxation time dispersions in glass forming metallic liquids of diverse fragility characters were reviewed mainly based on mechanical relaxations. The compilation of the stretching exponents revealed the common nonexponential dynamic features among the metallic liquids. The time-temperature-superposition law of the relaxation profiles was identified with an average stretching exponent around 0.5 at low frequency regions near the glass transitions. No notable correlation of the stretching parameter with alloy composition was discerned. The construction of the frequency dependence of the stretching exponent across the whole range of liquid dynamics revealed a striking similarity of the nonexponential dynamics between metallic and fragile molecular liquids.
