A brief review on Ce and Zr-based phase-separated metallic glasses
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Phase-separated metallic glasses (MGs) have attracted a lot of interest recently because they offer a unique opportunity to design composites or alloys with hierarchical microstructure at various length scales. Phase-separated MGs differ from other MGs in terms of their structure and physical properties. Though a lot of theoretical work has been done, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the mechanism underlying phase separation in MGs. In general, phase separation in many MG systems is explained on the basis of nucleation and growth or spinodal decomposition mechanisms. On the other hand, the phase separation in Ce-based MGs is examined based on changes in the electronic structure of Ce atoms. This opens up a new direction of research for delineating issues pertaining to phase separation in amorphous systems. The present brief review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the phase separation phenomenon in Ce- and Zr-based MG systems. It is broadly divided into two sections: the first section gives a brief introduction into the phase separation in MG systems, mechanisms of phase separation, micro-structural and thermal characteristics, and advantages of phase separation. The second section discusses some of the recent work on Ce- and Zr-based phase-separated MGs with respect to their design and properties. Graphical Abstract
