Entropy Decoding the Fundamental Law of Phase Competition in Glass Formation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We validate the integration of intermetallic and eutectic phases as initial phases for composition design. The phase competition mechanism in glass formation is quantitatively clarified based on the melting entropy of competing phases. Glass‐forming ability is modulated by tuning phase competition via the melting entropy of initial phases.
