Biography of Stanford Ovshinsky
489 words, approx. 2 pages
Stanford Ovshinsky pioneered the field of amorphous (disordered or structureless) materials that can be reversibly changed between amorphous and crystalline phases by an energy source, such as electricity or a laser beam. The phase change produces a...

Electron Irradiation-Induced Phase Transition of an Amorphous Phase and Face-Centered Cubic Solid Solutions in Zr^sub 66.7^Pd^sub 33.3^ Metallic Glass
02/01/2007: 5,801 words, approx. 19 pages
Both amorphization and crystallization were observed in Zr66.7Pd33.3 metallic glass under electron irradiation. The melt-spun amorphous phase was not stable under 2.0 MV electron irradiation and two kinds of fcc-solid solution were precipitated through electron irradiation-induced crystallization at 103 and 298 K. The fcc-solid...

The state of fundamental applied research in amorphous metals
03/01/2002: 750 words, approx. 3 pages
Glassy anything conjures up images of fragility-"Handle with Care."Mirrors, crystals, pottery all break upon impact. However, the advent of metallic glasses has changed the perspective of "brittleness" that glass possesses. Amorphous or glassy metals were discovered in the early 1960s, when certain alloys were...
