概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

Structural features of the Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 and Pt42.5Cu27Ni9.5P21 metallic glasses are studied in the present work by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 is a true bulk glass-former containing no crystalline particles/nuclei, while Pt42.5Cu27Ni9.5P21 is a crystal growth-controlled type bulk glass-former which contains nanoparticles of about 1 nm size with a different chemical composition. These structural differences are manifested in room-temperature mechanical properties. Thermodynamic calculations are also used to support the observed features.

実験 / Experimental

Ingots of the Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 and Pt42.5Cu27Ni9.5P21 alloys (the compositions are given in nominal atomic/molar percentages) were prepared by smelting of pure elements of 99.9 % mass purity. The structures of the samples were examined by conventional X-ray diffractometry (XRD) with CuKa radiation. Transmission electron microscopy observation, including collection of selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and nanobeam diffraction (NBD) (1 nm probe size) patterns were carried out using a TOPCON EM-002B microscope operating at 160 kV. Scanning TEM (STEM) observation and the energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were performed using JEOL-ARM200F microscope operating at 200 kV.  Oxygen content in the studied glassy alloys was measured by using infrared absorption (IA) after fusion under He gas.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

Significant difference in fine structure of the Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 and Pt42.5Cu27Ni9.5P21 metallic glasses was found (Figs. 1 and 2). The Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 metallic glass is a true bulk glass-former containing no crystalline particles/nuclei (Fig. 1), while the Pt42.5Cu27Ni9.5P21 metallic glass contains cF4 (partially ordered as cP4) nanoparticles (Fig. 2) both in bulk and ribbon form. This peculiar structure is rather the origin of much higher plasticity of Pt-based BMGs compared to Pd-based ones in general, and in the present case. Moreover, the microstructure analysis with a complex mathematical approach provided accurate data and enlightened the structure features of a known metallic glass. The analysis of EDX maps indicated that these nanoparticles are enriched in Cu and Ni and depleted in Pt and P. Low spatial correlation with O indicated that these nanoparticles are not oxides. Thermodynamic calculations support the observed features.
