It is believed that the strong glass formers tend to be dense packing and have rather slow atomic dynamics. Here, we report that the anomalous fast atomic dynamics exist in an Au₅₅Cu₂₀Ag₅Si₂₀ metallic glass (MG) with good glass forming ability (GFA) by combining X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The fast dynamics are mainly originated from the increased mobility of Cu atoms by Ag addition. Ag atoms are inclined to locate at Cu-centered <0, 2, 8, 1> motifs, which slow or accelerate the dynamics of shell Cu atoms, depending on whether Ag atoms appear at the first shells or not, leading to the formation of structural heterogeneity at the atomic level. The results enrich the understanding of atomic dynamics in Cue-Ag-containing MGs and will trigger more studies on the dynamics-GFA relationship in MGs.
