Abstract:Electron diffraction was used to study the local atomic structure of Cu 49 Hf 42 Al 9 metallic glasses (MGs). The amorphous nature of the MG was fully retained after the compression test. The partial radial distribution functions (PRDFs) of the MG structure obtained from the atomic model using reverse Monte Carlo and density functional theory optimization display that the peaks of the first nearest-neighbour distances for Cu-Cu, Hf-Cu and Hf-Hf atomic pairs were located at 2.56 Å, 2.78 Å and 3.23 Å, respective… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
