AbstractReversible structural relaxation has been studied in (Fe1-xNix)80B10Si10 by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. It is found that surface crystallization plays a major role in inhibiting reversibility. In consequence previously published data have presented a misleading picture about the composition dependence of the reversible effect in Fe-Ni-B-Si, which simply increases monotonically with Ni composition. There is no evidence that chemical short range order plays any role in reversibility.

The crystalline structure and Fe local environment in a Co-doped Ni–Fe–Ga Heusler alloy, prepared by the melt-spinning technique, were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and EXAFS at room and low temperatures. The characteristic temperatures of the austenite–martensite phase transitions were determined by differential scanning calorimetry via cooling and heating cycles of the alloy ribbons. As shown by room-temperature XRD, the austenitic phase of the alloy has the chemically ordered L21 Heusler structure. This was confirmed by EXAFS, although this technique was not able to conclusively distinguish between the L21 and B2 structures of the austenite for the analyzed alloy. The low-temperature martensitic phase and its structural evolution towards austenite with increasing temperature were studied by high-energy X-ray diffraction, which evinced the martensite modulation. However, the Fe environment could be fitted by EXAFS with the tetragonal L10 structure of the non-modulated martensite. This proves that the martensite modulation has structural effects on a long-range scale, without significant changes in the short-range order around the atoms. The changes in the local structure around iron on martensitic transformation were correlated with changes in the electronic structure, described by XANES spectroscopy at the Fe K edge.

Anorthite and gehlenite crystalline structure and short-range order of anorthite melt have been studied by X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from room temperature up to ~ 1923 K. The corresponding anorthite and gehlenite phases were identified as well as amorphous component for anorthite samples having identical shape to XRD pattern of the anorthite melt. The structure factor and the radial distribution function of atoms of the anorthite melt were calculated from the X-ray high-temperature experimental data. The partial structural parameters of the short-range order of the melt were reconstructed using Reverse Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract Neutron scattering results on Se1-xTex melts (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.8) obtained at 460 °C are combined with earlier X-ray diffraction data. The behaviour of the number and distance of nearest neighbours is discussed with respect to chemical short-range order and transition from twofold to three-fold coordination. For Se70Te30 the radial concentration correlation function 4πr2 ρcc(r) has been evaluated. It shows clearly the preferred formation of unlike pairs (Se-Te) within the chains.

AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on a-Zr2 PdHx, a-Zr3 RhHx, a-Zr76 Fe24 Hx, and a- Zr2NiHx to assess the effects of hydrogen on their thermal stabilities. Only exothermic DSC peaks were observed for the hydrogen-free glasses and are shown to correspond to the formation of crystalline intermetallic phases. On the other hand, heating of the amorphous hydrides gives decomposition reactions with the generation of ZrHx (1.5 <x < 2.0) and either free metal (e.g., Rh) or a Zr-depleted intermetallic (e.g., ZrPd). With the exception of the Zr2 PdHx samples, hydrogenation significantly decreases the thermal stabilities (i.e., the exothermic transitions occur at lower temperatures in the amorphous hydrides). Endothermic peaks, which are associated with hydrogen evolution from the glass, are observed when the hydrogen-to-metal ratios approach unity.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) of Cu45Zr48-xAl7Tix with x= 0, 1.5, and 3 at.% were prepared by copper mould casting. The corrosion resistance of the BMGs with different Ti contents was examined by potentiodynamic polarization tests and weight loss measurements in 1 N NaOH, 1 N H2SO4, 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl and 0.5 N NaCl solutions, respectively. The newly-developed BMGs’ corrosion resistance in Cl-- or both H+ and Cl--ions containing solutions can be greatly enhanced. The influence of Ti addition on glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability was investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry in detail. The alloy containing 1.5 at.% Ti exhibits the largest GFA, the critical size comes up to 10 mm in diameter.

Short-range order has been investigated in Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5and Zr41.5Ti41.5Ni17metallic glasses using X-ray absorption spectroscopy andab initiomolecular dynamics simulations. While both of these alloys are good glass formers, there is a difference in their glass-forming abilities (Zr41.5Ti41.5Ni17> Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5). This difference is explained by inciting the relative importance of strong chemical order, icosahedral content, cluster symmetry and configuration diversity.
