In the present paper (Zr76Ni24)1−xAlxalloys were prepared to investigate the influence of e/a, electron number per atom, on their glass-forming abilities. The bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) obtained in this alloy series have an e/a span from 1.37 to 1.53. Their thermal stability increases with the e/a ratios. The largest thermal stability is found at Zr60Al21Ni19with the highest possible e/a=1.53. These BMGs manifest negative temperature coefficients of resistivity and a nearly linear T-dependence of resistivity within the temperature span 80–293 K. The validity of the Nagel–Tauc conjecture, 2kf≈kpfor the stabilities of these BMGs is discussed. The e/a-based rule is a promising way to locate glass-forming compositions in the Zr-based multi-component alloy systems.
