In this study, the microalloying effect on glass-forming ability (GFA) has been investigated from the structural aspect, by performing synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction and absorption measurements coupled with simulations in the NiNbZr ternary system. We propose a new parameter which counts the fraction of the fivefold symmetries in all clusters and find it is strongly associated with the GFA. In particular, this structural parameter has the highest value in a composition where the best GFA is achieved. The present work provides an in-depth understanding of microalloying-induced high GFAs in multicomponent alloys.
