Abstract Scope |
Knowledge of the thermal stability of metallic glasses and formation of crystalline phases upon ultrafast heating is of high importance for practical applications. For example, to avoid crystallization by fabrication of metallic-glass parts or to design metallic-glass/crystal composites with desired phase(s). In this talk, results of recent in-situ studies of metallic glasses upon heating at a rate between about 10^2 and 10^5 K/s using high-energy X-ray diffraction and scattering at German Electron Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg will be presented and discussed. |
