ABSTRACTCurrent understanding of the local atomic structure of amorphous materials is reviewed. Sane results of probing short—range order by selected techniques are cited to illustrate the degree of uniformity that exists on a local scale. Observations of phase separation and phase changes are described with particular emphasis on a temperature driven, reversible transformation of the local structure observed magnetically in several cobalt—base glasses. The manifestations and implications of such transformations within the glassy state are examined. Several examples pointing to quasi—crystalline and to non—crystalline (non—space filling) local structures are given.

XAFS measurements of the Cu, Ni and Zr K-edges for the melt-quenched Zr67Cu33 and Zr67Ni33 metallic glasses were curried out using synchrotron radiation at 20K. Fitting calculations for the EXAFS results reveal that local structure around Ni and Zr in Zr67Ni33 is well represented by those for the crystalline Zr2Ni, while local structure around Zr in Zr67Cu33 is better fitted by an icosahedron rather than crystalline Zr2Cu. Such differences of the local structure attribute to the differences of the stability of super-cooled liquid state and glass formability between Zr67Cu33 and Zr67Ni33 metallic glasses.

ABSTRACTTi255Hf50Ni25 metallic glasses, prepared by rapid quenching, are strongly metastable with a 65°C separation between the glass transition temperature, Tg = 335°C, and the onset temperature for primary crystallization. The deep metastability of the glass is likely due to sluggish nucleation and growth kinetics, limited by the Hf diffusion. The glass crystallizes to a nano-scale microstructure consisting of an icosahedrally symmetric ordered phase. This phase is metastable and transforms to a stable Ti2Ni-type phase with annealing at higher temperatures. The primary crystallization to a metastable icosahedrally-ordered phase suggests that the local structure of the glass contains a high degree of icosahedral short-range order. Here, glass formation and crystallization were studied in alloys containing 2 at.% of Si and P.

The nature of yield in amorphous materials under stress has yet to be fully elucidated. In particular, understanding how microscopic rearrangement gives rise to macroscopic structural and rheological signatures in disordered systems is vital for the prediction and characterization of yield and the study of how memory is stored in disordered materials. Here, we investigate the evolution of local structural homogeneity on an individual particle level in amorphous jammed two-dimensional (athermal) systems under oscillatory shear and relate this evolution to rearrangement, memory, and macroscale rheological measurements. We define the structural metric crystalline shielding, and show that it is predictive of rearrangement propensity and structural volatility of individual particles under shear. We use this metric to identify localized regions of the system in which the material’s memory of its preparation is preserved. Our results contribute to a growing understanding of how local structure relates to dynamic response and memory in disordered systems.

AbstractMolecular dynamics simulation of the metallic glasses has been done. The embedded atom method potential function for copper is used to express the atomic interaction. The stress distribution in the glassy state is evaluated from specific volume occupied by single atom and local density in divided cells. The displacements of individual atom under the shear stress are calculated and the correlation between the displacements and the atomic volumes are investigated.

AbstractUsing neutron diffraction as well as the method of isotopic substitution the partial Bhatia-Thornton as well as the partial Faber-Ziman structure factors of amorphous Ni25Zr75 were determined. A compound forming tendency was found. The atomic distances, partial coordination numbers, and the chemical short range order parameter are evaluated.
