Abstract

The structural changes in Fe90Zr10 metallic glass induced by low-temperature annealing are studied by transmission electron microscopy and largeand small-angle X-ray diffraction. It is shown that the crystallization of metallic glass is preceded by amorphous phase decomposition giving rise to amorphous regions of different compositions, which form various crystalline phases later. The properties of the structural changes point to the spinodal mechanism of the amorphous-to-crystalline transformation.
