Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 1947–1950 (1984)Theory of the Structure Factor of Metallic GlassesReceived 27 July 1984; published in the issue dated 12 November 1984 A recently developed Landau description of short-range icosahedral order in supercooled liquids and metallic glasses is used to calculate density correlation functions in these systems. The theory predicts frustration-broadened peaks in the structure factor, at positions determined by the symmetries of an ideal, curved-space icosahedral crystal. The results provide a good fit to experiments on vapor-deposited metal films. © 1984 The American Physical Society URL:
