EFFECT OF SIMILAR ATOM SUBSTITUTION ON THE GLASS FORMING ABILITY OF Al86Ni9(Y, Sm)5 METALLIC GLASSES
Keywords:
glass forming ability, Al-based metallic gasses, similar atomic substitution
Abstract
The effect of similar atom substitution on the glass forming ability (GFA) of Al86Ni9(Y, Sm)5 (x = (0, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5)) metallic glasses (MGs) was explored on the basis of the theory of the Fermi sphere-Brillouin zone interaction. Similar atom substitution (Sm) mainly affects the static structure between Al atoms and Y (Sm) atoms, changing the diameter of the pseudo-Brillouin zone (KP). Its effect on the Fermi level and Brillouin zone size is characterized with spectroscopy experiments. The |δ|=|KP – 2KF| criterion is used to evaluate the effect of the Sm element substitution on the GFA. This criterion can help us obtain the optimal GFA composition (Al86Ni9Y3.5Sm1.5) of Al86Ni9(Y, Sm)5 amorphous alloys, confirmed also by the experimental results.
