Bulk glassy and nonequilibrium crystalline alloys by stabilization of supercooled liquid: fabrication, functional properties and applications (Part 1)

抄録

Since the stabilization of supercooled liquid in multi-component metallic alloys without any metalloid elements was discovered in 1988, a number of bulk glassy and nonequilibrium crystalline alloys have been fabricated with the aim of clarifying the origin of the novel stabilization phenomenon and searching for useful characteristics. This paper (Part 1) reviews our recent results on multi-component alloy systems in which the stabilization is achieved, some novel atomic configurations in stabilized supercooled liquids, the stabilization mechanism, and the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the resulting bulk glassy alloys.
