Abstract

Close parallels exist in Mössbauer-site signatures of

{Ge}_{2 - 2 x}

{Sn}_{2 x}

S_{3}

glasses and crystalline alloys. The drastic loss of glass-forming tendency in this ternary for x≥0.62 correlates exactly with a change in molecular structure of corresponding crystals, thus favoring microcrystalline origin of glass formation.
