“…On the other hand, there are different experimental techniques such as X-ray scattering (Matsubara et al, 1989;Antonowicz, 2010;Saporiti et al, 2010), neutron diffraction (Hsieh et al, 1990), electron diffraction (Li et al, 2009) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy (Saksl et al, 2005;Zalewski et al, 2009) which are very useful to study the glassy phase and the local atomic structure in metallic glasses (MGs). Among them, EXAFS is elementselective and probes the local environment such as coordination numbers (CNs), bond distances (R), and their distribution around the absorbing atomic species such as transition metal (TE) and rare earth (RE) (Xiong et al, 2019;Dziegielewski et al, 2020).…”
