“…The lowered T x in amorphous CuZr thin films can be the result of surface contamination and annealing at temperatures close to T x . 48 Considering our efforts to avoid contamination during sample preparation and handling, the observed low T x is unlikely be caused by contamination. As we discussed earlier for the thicker cluster-assembled film it is indeed possible that the samples achieved higher transient temperatures during their production.…”

Amorphous CuZr metallic films were fabricated by deposition of gas phase metal clusters on commercially available amorphous borosilicate glass substrates under ultra-high vacuum and soft-landing conditions. The cluster beam technology was employed for the first time to validate the feasibility of its use as a production approach for glassy materials. The mixed metal clusters were generated by a state-of-the-art high frequency pulsed laser vaporization cluster beam source from an alloy target. The structure of the films was studied by surface X-ray diffraction at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The recorded X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the cluster-assembled films lack crystalline structure. A halo peak corresponding to a scattering vector of 27.4 nm −1 is observed in the created cluster-assembled material, which confirms the glassy structure of the film. After annealing the sample at 450 K for 10 minutes two crystalline structures emerge, namely the pure copper and the intermetallic CuZr phases. These two crystalline phases are also observed for as prepared (without annealing) cluster-assembled films with a thickness of about 600 nm.

“…and micro-technological (deposited by sputtering or evaporation, solidstate reactions, ion beam mixing, layer-by-layer deposition). For the micro-technological techniques, co-condensation by means of thermal evaporation in high vacuum [6][7][8] or ion-magnetron sputtering [9] is widely used for synthesis of thin films of metal amorphous alloys.…”
