Abstract

AbstractWe have studied the effect of phosphorus content on the formation and properties of bulk Pd-Cu-P and Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses. It was found that the molar volumes of the Pd-Ni-P bulk glasses plotted as a function of P content follow a straight line whereas those for the Pd-Cu-P glasses follow two straight lines of different slopes, intersecting at a critical P concentration. The transition in molar volume behavior is attributed to a change in the alloy's short-range order with increasing P content. The origin of this structural change is discussed based on x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements.
