In sputter‐deposited Ni1−xAlx alloys, a disordered f. c. c. phase appears for 0 ≦ x < 0.3 and 0.85 < x ≦ 1.0, the B2 type ordered phase for 0.35 < x < 0.6, a disordered b. c. c. phase for 0.6 < x < 0.65, and an amorphous phase for x = 0 to 0.15 are ferromagnetic, while the other phases are paramagnetic down to 4.2 K. The electrical resistivity at 4.2 K, ϱ(4.2), is small and the temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity, TCR, is positive for the disordered f. c. c. and ordered b. c. c. alloys, while ϱ(4.2) is very large and TCR is negative for the disordered b. c. c. and amorphous alloys.
In sputter-deposited Zr-Zn and Ni-A1 alloys, an amorphous Zr-Zn phase appears for 30-80 at % Zn, while a disordered fcc Ni-A1 phase appears for 0-30 at % A1 and an amorphous Ni-A1 phase for 65-80 at % Al. The amorphous Zr-66 at % Zn and disordered Ni-25 at % A1 alloys are paramagnetic down to 4.2 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
