Temperature-dependent atomistic structural evolution in liquid Sn85Zn15eutectic alloy has been investigated by usingin situhigh energy X-ray diffraction andab initiomolecular dynamics simulations. We reveal a structural crossover at around 900 K in liquid Sn85Zn15eutectic alloy, below and above which the liquids exhibit different changes in first peak position shifts onS(q) andG(r) curves, the nearest coordination number and activation energies for self-diffusion. This structural crossover is likely ascribed to the spatial connectivity variation of local clusters. Our finding will trigger more studies on the liquid-to-liquid structural transition in metallic liquids.
