“…Among the Al-based amorphous alloys, the crystallization behaviors of Al-Ni-La have been found to be strongly dependent on the compositions [9][10][11][12]. For example, as the Ni content in Al 85þx Ni 9Àx La 6 (x ¼ 0-6) amorphous alloys increases, the primary phase changes from fcc-Al plus metastable bcc-(AlNi) 11 La 3 -like phase at x ¼ 2-6 to single unidentified metastable phase at x ¼ 0 (see Table 1).…”
