Retraction: Atomic-scale simulation to study the dynamical properties and local structure of Cu–Zr and Ni–Zr metallic glass-forming alloys

Abstract

Retraction of ‘Atomic-scale simulation to study the dynamical properties and local structure of Cu–Zr and Ni–Zr metallic glass-forming alloys’ by M. H. Yang et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, 7169–7183.

We, the named authors, wholly retract this Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics article. Although the work presents some new data related to the materials Cu₆₅Zr₃₅ and Ni₆₅Zr₃₅ rather than Cu₄₀Zr₅₁Al₉, there is unattributed overlap in the text, structure and figures with the 2015 article entitled “Atomic-scale dynamics of a model glass-forming metallic liquid: Dynamical crossover, dynamical decoupling, and dynamical clustering”.† Additionally we note that the names of the authors of the same article were incorrectly referenced. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience to authors and readers.

Signed: M. H. Yang, Y. Li, J. H. Li and B. X. Liu
