Abstract
A Pd–Si–Cu bulk nanocrystalline material was prepared by quenching the melted Pd78Si16Cu6 alloy at a cooling rate of 200 K/s under 2–6 GPa. It was found that the nanocrystalline material consists of Pd(Cu) disordered solid solution and a metastable phase-II, Pd4Si. The grain size was found to decrease with increasing pressure. The influence of high pressure on the grain size of bulk nanocrystalline material is discussed, and a possible formation mechanism is proposed.
