Response to the commentary by Robert Tournier and Michael Ojovan on our publication entitled "Improving glass forming ability of off-eutectic metallic glass formers by manipulating primary crystallization reactions"

Dr. Robert Tournier and Dr. Michael Ojovan found that the liquidus temperatures T_l of Ni₆₀Pd₂₀P_20-y-xSi_yB_x glass formers, recently reported by us, are equal or close to the disappearance temperatures T_n+ of liquid medium-range order. In this letter we presented the repeated heating/cooling differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results of the alloys and demonstrated that the liquidus temperatures T_l of the off-eutectic alloys are closely related to the melting of the primary crystalline phases that have the highest melting temperatures in the alloys systems.
