“…Non-crystalline materials, such as amorphous metals, alloys, and glasses, are employed in a wide range of industrial processes and applications. , The atomic arrangement of disordered systems determines their physical, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties. − Several studies showed a strong correlation between the configurational local order and the electronic, , magnetic, catalytic, and corrosion-resistance properties of disordered systems, as found, for example, for the high-entropy alloys. , The structural order in amorphous solids is difficult to characterize, and it is far from being understood . Despite the lack of translational periodicity, amorphous systems are not completely random, being organized in hierarchical local structures at different length scales. − The presence of microscopic-ordered arrangement, repetitive units, or defects is responsible for the macroscopic properties of the whole material.…”
