AbstractOnset temperature, Tm and offset temperature (liquidus) Tl of melting of a series of bulk glass forming alloys based on La, Mg, and Pd have been measured by studying systematically the melting behaviour of these alloys using DTA or DSC. Bulk metallic glass formation has been found to be most effective at or near their eutectic points and less effective for off-eutectic alloys. Reduced glass transition temperature Trg given by Tg/Tl is found to show a stronger correlation with critical cooling rate or critical section thickness for glass formation than Trg given by Tg/Tm.

As the part of investigation for immobilization of the sludge as one of the radioactive wastes arising from the treatment of contaminated water at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, applicability of vitrification method has been evaluated as a candidate technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of NaCl as one of the main constituents of sludge, on glass formation and glass properties. Two kinds of iron phosphate glass (IPG) media in the xFe2O3-(100-x)P2O5, with x = 30 and 35 (mol%) were chosen and the glass formation, structure and properties including density, coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, onset crystallization temperature and chemical durability of NaCl-loaded IPG were studied. The results are summarized as follows. Sodium chloride, NaCl could be loaded into IPG medium as Na2O and Cl contents and their loading ratio could be up to 19 and 15 mol%, respectively. Majority of Cl content of raw material NaCl was thought to be volatilized during glass melting. Loading NaCl into IPG induces to depolymerize glass network of phosphate chains, leads to decrease both glass transition and onset crystallization temperatures, and to increase coefficient of thermal expansion. NaCl-loaded IPG indicated good chemical durability in case of using 35Fe2O3-65P2O5 medium.

AbstractIt is well known that the liquid dynamics slows down on approaching the liquid-gas critical point or the liquid-glass transition. Recently we have found by the sound attenuation measurements that the metal-nonmetal (M-NM) transition also induces slow dynamics. In the M-NM transition range of expanded liquid Hg, we have observed anomalous increase in the sound attenuation due to the structural relaxation process. Assuming a simple Debye-type relaxation, we have estimated that the relaxation time should be of the order of nanoseconds and revealed that the relaxation strength has a broad maximum in the M-NM transition range. Moreover, two types of anomalies have been observed also in the semiconductor-metal (S-M) transition range of liquid Te-Se mixtures. We present the recent experimental results of the sound attenuation measurements and discuss briefly the mechanisms of the slow dynamics in the metal-nonmetal transition range of liquids.

ABSTRACTNew experimental results obtained with various techniques on a less-studied glass-forming system are presented. At low frequency, a secondary βslow-process, decoupled from the viscous flow, is observed by 3 1P NMR. Raman scattering spectra and coherent neutron scattering spectra has been obtained in wide frequency and temperature ranges showing the same qualitative features for the Boson peak while the quasielastic contribution seems to differ markedly.
