Abstract
The formation of transition metal-metalloid (TM100−xMx) glassy alloys by rapid quenching from the melt is usually confined to a limited composition range of about 15≤x≤25 at .%. However, glassy alloys of the type TM-M substantially removed from the 80:20 atomic ratio have been prepared. Takaheshi et al. [1] have found noncrystalline X-ray diffraction patterns in Ni-R samples at 18.5 and at 40 at .% B. Inoue et al. [2] have reported on metallic glasses in the Ni-B and Co-B systems containing 33–43 at .% B and 35–41 at .% B, respectively. More interestingly, amorphous Ni66B33 crystallized homogenously to a single Ni2B phase of known crystal structure (that of Al2Cu), in which there is only one nonequivalent Ni site [3]. The existence of the Ni66B33 composition in both the crystalline and glassy phases makes it an attractive model system for quantitative EXAFS investigation of the local atomic environment in metal-metalloid glasses.
