Nanocrystalline metals and alloys, with average and range of grain sizes typically smaller
than 100 nm, have been the subject of considerable research in recent years. Such interest …

Amorphous metallic alloys, relative newcomers to the world of glasses, have properties that
are unusual for solid metals. The metallic glasses, which exist in a very wide variety of …

It is known that nanocrystallites can form in shear bands produced during severe bending or
high-energy ball milling of thin ribbons of a metallic glass. We present direct experimental …

Phase separation phenomena in metallic glass systems are reviewed. First, a brief
introduction to the enhanced glass forming ability and the phase separation in metallic glass …

AMORPHOUS alloys formed by rapid solidification of a metallic melt are of considerable
technological interest as high-strength materials1–8. As they are not in thermodynamic …

Focusing on metallic glasses as model systems, we review the features and mechanisms of
the β-relaxations, which are intrinsic and universal to supercooled liquids and glasses, and …

The aim of this book is to acquaint the reader with what the authors regard as the most basic
characteristics of quasicrystals--structure, formation and stability, and properties--in …
