New bulk metallic glasses (BMG) have been synthesized in the Mg-Cu-RE systems (RE= Y, Gd) with high critical diameter. In order to determine the glass forming range of these ternary systems, the calculation of the onset of driving forces (ODF) has been performed and has shown a large composition range for BMG formation. The synthesis of particular compositions in this domain has shown that all the produced alloys present a high glass forming ability (GFA) measured by DSC experiments. The ODF model, synthesized alloys by mould casting, characterization by X-ray diffraction and DSC techniques are presented.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) of Cu45Zr48-xAl7Tix with x= 0, 1.5, and 3 at.% were prepared by copper mould casting. The corrosion resistance of the BMGs with different Ti contents was examined by potentiodynamic polarization tests and weight loss measurements in 1 N NaOH, 1 N H2SO4, 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl and 0.5 N NaCl solutions, respectively. The newly-developed BMGs’ corrosion resistance in Cl-- or both H+ and Cl--ions containing solutions can be greatly enhanced. The influence of Ti addition on glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability was investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry in detail. The alloy containing 1.5 at.% Ti exhibits the largest GFA, the critical size comes up to 10 mm in diameter.

Quaternary semiconductor materials of the Pb4Ga4GeS(Se)12 composition have attracted the attention of researchers due to their possible use as active elements of optoelectronics and nonlinear optics. The Pb4Ga4GeS(Se)12 phases belong to the solid solution ranges of the Pb3Ga2GeS(Se)8 compounds which form in the quasi-ternary systems PbS(Se)−Ga2S(Se)3−GeS(Se)2 at the cross of the PbGa2S(Se)4−Pb2GeS(Se)4 and PbS(Se)−PbGa2GeS(Se)6 sections. The quaternary sulfide melts congruently at 943 K. The crystallization of the Pb4Ga4GeSe12 phase is associated with the ternary peritectic process Lp + PbSe ↔ PbGa2S4 + Pb3Ga2GeSe8 at 868 K. For the single crystal studies, Pb4Ga4GeS(Se)12 were pre-synthesized by co-melting high-purity elements. The X-ray diffraction results confirm that these compounds possess non-centrosymmetric crystal structure (tetragonal symmetry, space group P–421c). The crystals were grown by the vertical Bridgman method in a two-zone furnace. The starting composition was stoichiometric for Pb4Ga4GeS12, and the solution-melt method was used for the selenide Pb4Ga4GeSe12. The obtained value of the bandgap energy for the Pb4Ga4GeS12 and Pb4Ga4GeSe12 crystals is 1.86 and 2.28 eV, respectively. Experimental measurements of the spectral distribution of photoconductivity for the Pb4Ga4GeS12 and Pb4Ga4GeSe12 crystals exhibit the presence of two spectral maxima. The first lies in the region of 570 (2.17 eV) and 680 nm (1.82 eV), respectively, and matches the optical bandgap estimates well. The locations of the admixture maxima at about 1030 (1.20 eV) and 1340 nm (0.92 eV), respectively, agree satisfactorily with the calculated energy positions of the defects vs. and VSe.

Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are a unique class of materials that are attracting attention in a wide variety of applications owing to their physical properties. Several studies have investigated and designed the relationships between alloy composition and thermal properties of BMGs using an artificial neural network (ANN). The limitation of the wide-scale use of these models is that the required composition is yet to be found despite numerous case studies. To address this issue, we trained an ANN to design Fe-based BMGs that predict the thermal properties. Models were trained using only the composition of the alloy as input and were created from a database of more than 150 experimental data of Fe-based BMGs from relevant literature. We adopted these ANN models to design BMGs with thermal properties to satisfy the intended purpose using particle swarm optimization. A melt spinner was employed to fabricate the designed alloys. X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis tests were used to evaluate the specimens.

The reaction of the bulk glass forming alloy Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 (Vit 1) with W, Ta, Mo, AlN, Al2O3, Si, graphite, and amorphous carbon was investigated. Vit 1 samples were melted and subsequently solidified after different processing times on discs of the different materials. Sessile drop examinations of the macroscopic wetting of Vit 1 on the discs as a function of temperature were carried out in situ with a digital optical camera. The reactions at the interfaces between the Vit 1 sample and the different disc materials were investigated with an electron microprobe. The structure and thermal stability of the processed Vit 1 samples were examined by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results are discussed in terms of possible applications for composite materials.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the binary amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system. According to our knowledge, this is the first time that such an amorphous composition is prepared and investigated. The tendency toward re-crystallization of the amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system, at both standard storage and elevated temperature conditions, have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Our investigations have revealed that simvastatin remarkably improves the physical stability of ezetimibe, despite the fact that it works as a plasticizer. Pure amorphous ezetimibe, when stored at room temperature, begins to re-crystallize after 14 days after amorphization. On the other hand, the ezetimibe-simvastatin binary mixture (at the same storage conditions) is physically stable for at least 1 year. However, the devitrification of the binary amorphous composition was observed at elevated temperature conditions (T = 373 K). Therefore, we used a third compound to hinder the re-crystallization. Finally, both the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the ternary systems containing different concentrations of the latter component have been thoroughly investigated.

AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on a-Zr2 PdHx, a-Zr3 RhHx, a-Zr76 Fe24 Hx, and a- Zr2NiHx to assess the effects of hydrogen on their thermal stabilities. Only exothermic DSC peaks were observed for the hydrogen-free glasses and are shown to correspond to the formation of crystalline intermetallic phases. On the other hand, heating of the amorphous hydrides gives decomposition reactions with the generation of ZrHx (1.5 <x < 2.0) and either free metal (e.g., Rh) or a Zr-depleted intermetallic (e.g., ZrPd). With the exception of the Zr2 PdHx samples, hydrogenation significantly decreases the thermal stabilities (i.e., the exothermic transitions occur at lower temperatures in the amorphous hydrides). Endothermic peaks, which are associated with hydrogen evolution from the glass, are observed when the hydrogen-to-metal ratios approach unity.

The relationship between the viscosity of Al84Mg10Ce6 alloy melt and liquid structure was studied by viscosity measurements, X-ray diffraction and DSC analysis in this paper. In addition, the glass forming ability of alloy ties produced by melt spinning was analyzed. Based on the above results, the relationship between alloy melts and its glass forming ability(GFA)was studied. The addition of element Ce leads to the abnormal change of Al84Mg10Ce6 melt’ s structure and enhances its GFA, furthermore, it results in completely amorphous ties with melt spinning at 850°C.Therefore, there is certain relationship between the Al-Mg based alloys melt and its GFA.
