40. The crossover temperature Tonset can be identified by the onset of nonexponential, two-step relaxation in Fsα (k, t) (Ref.). In constant density simulations, it is also signaled by the sharp decrease of average potential energy of local minima (Ref.). For further interpretation regarding Tonset, see Ref..
41. We observed a similar difference in fragility on both smaller (N=108) and larger samples (N=6912) cooled at constant density.

49. The fraction of icosahedra in local minima also shows, at intermediate temperatures, a shallow minimum, which is more pronounced the more fragile the mixture, and appears to be a distinct feature of constant pressure simulations.

54. In the models of Hausleitner and Hafner, the interaction parameters become nonadditive at large size asymmetry, favoring prismatic geometries. In the case of additive AMLJ- λ mixtures, instead, no sharp structural characterization is apparent at large size asymmetry.
