Shear modulus of coevaporatedNi1−xZr

Ab Initio studies of the electronic structure and energetics of bulk amorphous metals

“…[23] We support the view proposed by Kroeger et al and later modified by Rubin and Schwarz [24] that associates stabilize the structure near certain compositions and that extremely rapid quenching can freeze in phases stabilized by entropy; short anneals then restore glass phases typical of slower quenching. In terms of model construction, we propose that extremely rapid quenching can preserve the entropy stabilized liquid structure that is represented approximately by random packing of hard spheres; while annealing results in transformation to the more stable low-temperature structure that is best represented by the packing of larger atomic aggregates.…”

Elastic modulus and hardness of Cu–Ta amorphous films

“…For the metal-metal amorphous alloys and films, there is a lack of sufficient data of the Poisson ratio. As suggested by Rubin et al [19], the Poisson ratio for most metal-metalloid amorphous alloys is 0.35 [20] and can be used to evaluate the modulus of our Cu-Ta amorphous films. In Fig.…”

Optimal glass-forming composition and its correlation with eutectic reaction in the Ti–Ni–Al ternary system

“…This composition is quite close to our optimal glass-forming composition, Ti 54 Ni 32 Al 14 . Since this SRO is in the form of ordered clusters of atoms or "associates", the associates may promote crystallization when they are sub-units of the crystal [43]. Consequently, in the case of the Ti 2 Ni as a competing phase, the glass formation of the alloys requires a higher cooling rate, i.e., lack of the BMG-forming capability.…”
