Abstract

Field investigations were performed into the nature of oxidation of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 alloy (Vitreloy-1), a new alloy highly promising for in -vessel mirrors of the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). The main methods of investigation were X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and multi-angle ellipsometry. The resistance of the optical properties of Vitreloy-1 against radiation impact was explained by the oxidation of the surface layer, based on the features of the diffusion process in amorphous alloys and of interaction between amorphous metal alloys with hydrogen.
