It is very challenging to make metallic glasses from melts as this process requires very high cooling rates (e.g. 105-106 K/s) and such a high cooling rate still results in a crystal percentage more than 0.1% in many cases. In general, only a material with a maximum allowed fraction of crystals, Xc, between 0.1% and 0.0001%, is conventionally classified as a glass. [1]
