“…Adopting a new cluster-type index method (CTIM-3) to analyse the local atomic clusters, it is found that the dominant microstructural configurations in the supercooled liquid and amorphous are the icosahedrons and their combinations, especially the intercross-sharing (IS) clusters linked of two icosahedrons (IS-ICO-clusters) can be used to build some larger IS-ICO nanoclusters with different sizes. Highly interesting, in the system the number of atoms in various IS-ICO nano-clusters demonstrates a magic number sequence of 19,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,41,43, and so on. The magic number clusters can be classified into three main types: chain-like, triangle-tailed and quadrilateral-tailed.…”
