Abstract

We observed quasicrystal-to-amorphous-to-crystal (Q–A–C) transition in Zr 66.7Pd 33.3 metallic glass. The unique disordering–ordering phase transition was induced by 2 MeV electron irradiation at 298 K. Electron irradiation can induce not only the solid-state amorphization but also crystallization of a glassy structure under the same irradiation conditions. The Q–A–C transition can be explained by change in the phase stability of crystal, quasicrystal and amorphous phases by electron irradiation induced atomic displacement.
