Formation and Stability of Nickel Zirconium Glasses.

Abstract

Glasses may be formed in two composition ranges: 33 to 42 and 60 to 76at%Zr. The crystallization temperatures (T sub x), activation energies (Q sub x), crystallization morphologies, densities, Young's moduli and peak in the x-ray diffraction pattern (Q sub p) are reported as a function of composition. Maximum thermal stability occurs at 36at%Zr, well away from the value predicted by the free electron approach of Nagel and Tauc. The glasses are denser than would be expected from a simple dense random packing of hard spheres. (Author)
