It is well known that bulk Pd-Ni-P metallic glass with a wide range of compositions (Pd: 25-60 at%; Ni: 20-57 at%; P 16-22 at%) can be prepared. In the present study, we investigated the method of production of electrodeposited Pd-Ni-P metallic glass films whose composition range is the same as that of bulk Pd-Ni-P metallic glass. The composition of electrodeposited Pd-Ni-P films were controlled by adjusting the concentrations of PdCl 2 , NiSO 4 ·6H 2 O and H 3 PO 3 in the Pd-Ni-P bath. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images showed that the electrodeposited Pd-Ni-P films were amorphous. The results of differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the electrodeposited Pd-Ni-P films were metallic glass with Pd, Ni, and P compositions of 36-57 at%, 25-43 at%, and 17-20 at%, respectively, which were almost identical to those in bulk Pd-Ni-P metallic glass. Furthermore, we succeeded in producing a Pd 42 Ni 37 P 21 metallic glass film by electrodeposition. The alloy composition of this film was very similar to that of Pd 40 Ni 40 P 20 , which is one of the best bulk metallic glasses because of its glass forming ability (GFA) .
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.
