Abstract

Abstract Anomalous behaviour of kinetics of structural relaxation observed earlier in some metallic glasses containing chromium might be explained by antiferromagnetic interaction between some of the magnetic moments. To support this assumption Curie-point measurements were used to study the relaxation of metallic glasses containing vanadium or manganese. Anomalous behaviour was found in every case, but the character of the anomaly was not always the same. Further investigations are necessary to resolve the problem unambigously. Antiferromagnetically coupled species in amorphous alloys have proved to be a good probe for studying structural relaxation processes. It could be demonstrated that structural relaxation in these materials consists of at least three processes.
