Atomic Structure of Liquidmetal Alloys
The atomic structure is the most striking characteristic of the Liquidmetal alloys as it fundamentally differentiates Liquidmetal alloys from ordinary metals.
The atomic structure of conventional metals is naturally periodic, where the layout of atomic elements shows repeating crystal patterns over an extended range. This atomic structure is called "crystalline" and limits the overall performance of conventional metals.
Liquidmetal alloys possess an "amorphous" atomic structure, which is truly unique. By contrast to the crystalline structure, no discernable patterns exist in the atomic structure of the unique Liquidmetal alloys. As such, properties superior to the limits of conventional metals can be achieved.
