Enhancement of Strength and Ductility in Zr-Based Bulk Amorphous Alloys by Precipitation of Quasicrystalline Phase

Akihisa Inoue, Tao Zhang, Junji Saida and Mitsuhide Matsushita

This article had been acknowledged¹⁾ by the Editorial Committee of Materials Transactions as the secondary publication from the previously published paper,²⁾ because the contents were almost identical. Recently, the original paper²⁾ was retracted.³⁾ Unreferred reproduction from another paper⁴⁾ which was not pointed out in the announcement³⁾ has also been found. Therefore, this article is improper as a scientific paper, and it is retracted with the primary author's agreement. The authors are required to pay more careful attention to contributing papers.
