AbstractWe investigated the influence of annealing on the nanometer-scale medium-range order in Zr54Cu38Al8 bulk metallic glass using fluctuation electron microscopy. Fluctuation microscopy experiments probing structure at a length scale of 1 nm show that the as-cast Zr bulk metallic glass contains significant medium range order. That structure is unchanged by annealing at 87% of the glass transition temperature for 24 hours, although that anneal does significantly change the differential scanning calorimetry trace.

ABSTRACTWe have previously reported, based on fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) data, that Zr50Cu45Al5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) contains significant icosahedral and crystal-like medium-range order. Here, we report similar finding for Zr54Cu38Al8 BMG, which is a poorer glass former. Like Zr50Cu45Al5, Zr54Cu38Al8 contains icosahedral and crystal-like structures. In the as-cast state, the crystal-like peak in the FEM data is stronger than icosahedral-like peak. After annealing at 0.83Tg (573 K), the icosahedral-like peak increases, but, unlike Zr50Cu45Al5, the crystal-like peak does not decrease. This tendency toward stronger, more thermally stable crystal-like order may be associated with the poorer glass forming ability of Zr54Cu38Al8.
