Here, the atomic structure of Al₉₀Sm₁₀ metallic glass is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. By performing a long sub-T_g annealing, we developed a glass model closer to the experiments than the models prepared by continuous cooling. Using the cluster alignment method, we found that “3661” cluster is the dominating short-range order in the glass samples. The connection and arrangement of “3661” clusters, which define the medium-range order in the system, are enhanced significantly in the sub-T_g annealed sample as compared with the fast cooled glass samples. Unlike some strong binary glass formers such as Cu_64.5Zr_35.5, the clusters representing the short-range order do not form an interconnected interpenetrating network in Al₉₀Sm₁₀, which has only marginal glass formability.
