The Anomalous Behavior of Electrical Resistance for Some Metallic Glasses Examined in Several Gas Atmospheres or in a Vacuum

  • Chapter
Book cover Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Materials

Part of the book series: Advances in Materials Research ((ADVSMATERIALS,volume 3))

Summary

The thermal stability in the supercooled liquid region was examined for Pd82Si18, Pd76Cu6Si18, Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 and Zr6oAl15Ni25 glasses by means of mainly in-situ electrical resistance measurement carried out under various atmospheres, such as Ar, He, H2 and vacuum. A clear variation was found out in the slope of electrical resistance curve after glass transition for all glasses. The glass transition and crystallization temperatures corresponded to those obtained by differential scanning calorimetry. No crystallites were detected in a Zr60Al15Ni25, Pd76Cu6Si18 and Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 glasses heated to the supercooled liquid region at least within X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Some anomalous behaviors of electrical resistance were observed around room temperature for Pd-Si based glasses and in the super-cooled liquid region for a Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 glass, possibly resulting from hydrogen absorption and desorption. On the other hand, the behavior of electrical resistance for a Zr60Al15Ni25 glass was strongly dependent on the surface state of the sample, containing the oxidation. The change in electrical resistance after glass transition was also examined in detail and explained by Faber-Zimann theory for Pd76Cu6Si18 and Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 glasses.
