用原位x射线小角散射研究块体非晶合金Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5的结构弛豫

应用同步辐射x射线小角散射法在原位对块体非晶合金Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5在等温退火过程中的微结构变化进行研究.实验表明:在等温退火过程中电子密度涨落反映了晶化之前的结构弛豫过程;在一定的退火温度下、随退火时间的增加,拓扑短程序弛豫与化学短程序弛豫之间存在一个电子密度均匀化的过程;导致这两种弛豫过程转变的退火时间与退火温度有关,温度越高,所需的退火时间越短.     

Low temperature dependence of elastic moduli and internal friction for the glassy alloy Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5

Longitudinal and transverse wave velocities, eight kinds of elastic parameters, and dilational and shear internal frictions of Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ glassy alloy were simultaneously measured as a function of temperature in the range from 77 to 373 K, using an ultrasonic pulse method. The inflections at around 150 K for wave velocities, anisotropy factor and Poisson's ratio, and the 150 K peak of shear friction seem to correspond to one topological change (pseudo‐transition) associated with an interatomic readjustment or vacancy rearrangements. The behaviors from 77 to 125 K and 125 to 373 K are due to thermal relaxation of squeezed free volumes and entropy elasticity associated with vibrational motions of clusters, respectively, accompanied by an increase in atomic distance.

Isothermal creep of bulk glassy Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 below T g

The results of an isothermal creep investigation of Zr_52.5Ti₅Cu_17.9Ni_14.6Al₁₀ bulk metallic glass at temperatures below the glass transition temperature are presented. The long-time (t > (2–4) × 10³?s) creep regularities were found to be the same as those known for ribbon metallic glasses, in spite of the pronounced difference in the production quenching rates. It is argued that creep behaviour of bulk metallic glass is determined by the rate of irreversible structural relaxation. The apparent activation energy spectrum reconstructed from isothermal creep measurements agrees well with that determined from linear heating creep data.

Dynamic mechanical relaxation and thermal creep of high-entropy La30Ce30Ni10Al20Co10 bulk metallic glass

Spatial frequency shift(SFS) microscopy with evanescent wave illumination shows intriguing advantages, including large field of view(FOV), high speed, and good modularity. However, a missing band in the spatial frequency domain hampers the SFS superresolution microscopy from achieving resolution better than 3 folds of the Abbe diffraction limit. Here, we propose a novel tunable large-SFS microscopy, making the resolution improvement of a linear system no longer restricted by the detection numerical aperture(NA). The complete wide-range detection in the spatial frequency domain is realized by tuning the illumination spatial frequency actively and broadly through an angle modulation between the azimuthal propagating directions of two evanescent waves. The vertical spatial frequency is tuned via a sectional saturation effect, and the reconstructed depth information can be added to the lateral superresolution mask for 3D imaging. A lateral resolution of λ/9, and a vertical localization precision of ~λ/200(detection objective NA = 0.9) are realized with a gallium phosphide(GaP) waveguide. Its unlimited resolution enhancing capability is demonstrated by introducing a designed metamaterial chip with an unusual large refractive index. Besides the great resolution enhancement, this method shows better anti-noise capability than classical structured illumination microscopy without SFS tunability. This method is chip-compatible and can potentially provide a massproducible illumination chip module achieving the fast, large-FOV, and deep-subwavelength 3D nanoscopy.     

Phase transition in Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 bulk metallic glass under HP & HT

The phase transitions in Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) have been studied under high pressure and high temperature (HP & HT) by X-ray diffraction measurements with synchrotron radiation source. We found that the BMG underwent a phase transitions of amorphous-crystalline-amorphous at 10 GPa upon heating. The parallel experiments were carried out at 7 GPa, while we did not observe the amorphous-crystalline-amorphous transitions by increasing temperature. Quenching the melted BMG at 7 GPa, it was found that the phase crystallized from the melt differed from the primary phase crystallized from the starting amorphous solid upon heating, suggesting there existed a distinct mechanism in two cases.     

Structural relaxation of Zr_(41)Ti_(14)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5) bulk metallic glass under high pressure

Zr41Ti14Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5bulk metallic glass (BMG) is annealed at 573 K under 3 GPaand its structural relaxation is investigated by X-ray diffraction, ultrasonic study, compression as well as sliding wear measurements. It is found that after the ZrTiCuNiBe BMG sample was annealed under high pressure, the mechanical properties were improved. Moreover, the BMG with relaxed structure exhibits markedly different acoustic properties. These results are attributed to the fact that relaxation under high-pressure results in a microstructural transformation in the BMG.     

Thermal effects induced during heating of the bulk metallic glass Zr46Cu46Al8

It has been shown that thermal effects measured calorimetrically during heating of the bulk metallic glass Zr₄₆Cu₄₆Al₈ can be interpreted as a result of the annihilation or generation of structural “defects,” which are similar in their properties to interstitial dumbbells in simple crystalline metals. The shear susceptibility, which characterizes the sensitivity of the shear modulus of the glass to the concentration of “defects” of the type of interstitial dumbbells, has been calculated.     

Deformation behavior of Zr-based bulk metallic glass and composite in the supercooled liquid region

A Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a composition of (Zr₇₅Cu₂₅)_78.5Ta₄Ni₁₀Al_7.5 and a bulk metallic glass matrix composite (BMGC) with a composition of (Zr₇₅Cu₂₅)_74.5Ta₈Ni₁₀Al_7.5 have been prepared by copper-mold casting. The compressive deformation behavior of the BMG and BMGC was investigated in the supercooled region at different temperatures and various strain rates ranging from 8×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ to 8×10⁻² s⁻¹. It was found that both the strain rate and test temperature significantly affect the deformation behavior of the two alloys. The deformation follows Newtonian flow at low strain rates but non-Newtonian flow at high strain rates. The deformation mechanism for the two kinds of alloys was discussed in terms of the transition state theory.

A study on the formation of crystalline phases during solidification and crystallisation in the bulk metallic glass of Zr53Cu21Al10Ni8Ti8 composition

The present paper considers the formation of crystalline phases during solidification and crystallisation of the Zr₅₃Cu₂₁Al₁₀Ni₈Ti₈ alloy. Solidification was carried out by a copper mould casting technique, which yielded a partially crystalline microstructure comprising a ‘big cube phase’ in a dendritic morphology and a bct Zr₂Ni phase. Detailed high-resolution microscopy was carried out to determine possible mechanisms for the formation of the crystalline phases. Based on microstructural examinations, it was established that the dendrites grew by the attachment of atomistic ledges. The bct Zr₂Ni phase, formed during solidification and crystallisation, showed various types of faults depending on the crystallite size, and its crystallography was examined in detail. It has been shown that the presence of these faults could be explained by anti-site occupancy in the bct lattice of the Zr₂Ni phase.     

Atomic-scale structural evolution and stability of supercooled liquid of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass

In this Letter, direct experimental evidence is provided for understanding the thermal stability with respect to crystallization in the Zr(41.2)Ti(13.8)Cu(12.5)Ni(10)Be(22.5) glass-forming liquid. Through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the atomic-structure evolution in the glass-forming liquid during the isothermal annealing process is clearly revealed. In contrast with the existing theoretical models, our results reveal that, prior to nanocrystallization, there exists a metastable state prone to forming icosahedralike atomic clusters, which impede the subsequent crystallization and hence stabilize the supercooled liquid. The outcome of the current research underpins the topological origin for the excellent thermal stability displayed by the Zr-based bulk metallic glass.

通过等温示差扫描量热法研究了Zr60Al15Ni25大块非晶合金的晶化动力学.实验结果表明,晶化过程的孕育期很短,即使在743 K这样低的温度下也不过0.52 min,而放热峰宽(反应整个晶化过程进行的时间)却随退火温度的降低明显增大,这说明了结晶过程是一个晶核长大控制的过程.Avrami指数表明在不同的退火温度,该合金的晶化机制发生了变化.晶化机制的变化是由于合金原子在不同温度下的扩散能力相差很大所致.
