• In this work results of studies on the short-range order and on the atomic dynamics in different stable and undercooled glass-forming metallic melts are reviewed. In order to undercool the melts deeply below the melting temperature and to avoid chemical reactions of the melts with crucible materials, the samples are containerlessly processed utilizing the electromagnetic or the electrostatic levitation technique. The short-range structure of the melts is studied by neutron diffraction, while the atomic dynamics are investigated by quasielastic neutron scattering. The relationship between short-range structure and atomic dynamics is discussed within the mode coupling theory of the glass transition. We will show that taking the time- and space-averaged structural information provided by measured partial structure factors as an input, mode coupling theory is able to explain the experimental results concerning the activation energies for self-diffusion and the coupling/decoupling behavior of the self-diffusion coefficients of the different alloy components.
