Nano energetic materials have attracted great attention recently owing to their potential applications for both civilian and military purposes. By introducing silicon microchannel plates (Si-MCPs) three-dimensional (3D)-ordered structures, monocrystalline MnMoO4 with a size of tens of micrometres and polycrystalline MnMoO4 nanoflakes are produced on the surface and sidewall of nickel-coated Si-...

This paper presents experimental observations of the nanocrystallization process in materials having Fe–Si (FINEMET), a-Fe (NANOPERM), and a0-FeCo (HITPERM) nanocrystals coupled through an amorphous phase. Crystallization kinetics and chemical partitioning during crystallization are described. Isothermal nanocrystallization is discussed in the framework of the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov mod...

Neutron diffraction has been used to study in situ the nanocrystallization process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si22.52xBx (x55, 9, and 12! amorphous alloys. Nanocrystallization results in a decrease of both the silicon content and the grain size of the Fe~Si! phase with increasing value of x. By comparing the radial distribution function peak areas with those predicted for ideal bcc and DO3 structure, it ca...

The kinetics of nanocrystallization of a Mn-doped FINEMET alloy from its amorphous precursor is reported. The alloy studied was of a composition (Fe1 Mn )73 5Nb3CuSi13 5B9 where = 0 05. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that -FeSi is the product of primary nanocrystallization. Crystallization kinetics were studied using time-dependent magnetization, ( ), as a measure of the volume fraction crys...

The P content dependencies of the nanocrystallization behaviors and high temperature magnetic properties of the Fe 54.6 Co 29.4 Si 2.8 (B 0.8ÀY P Y) 14 Nb 1 Cu 1 (Y ¼ 0, 0.2, and 0.3) alloys have been investigated. Alloys were prepared by melt spinning and subsequently annealed in an argon atmosphere to induce nanocrystallization. P addition increases primary crystallization temperature (Tx 1),...

Multicomponent Fe65.5Cr4Mo4Ga4P12C5B5.5 amorphous alloy is known to have good soft magnetic properties combined with large glass-forming ability. Searching for a nanocrystalline structure that could improve its magnetic properties, Cr and Mo were partially substituted by Cu. The devitrification process of Cu-containing alloys shows an additional broad crystallization event that can be described...

Shear-induced nanocrystallization in bent ribbons of Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 metallic glass has been quantitatively investigated via synchrotron radiation. The formed nanocrystals volume fraction during deformation directly estimated from X-ray diffraction spectra using peaks area integration. process was found to be strongly linked with the microstructure configuration shear bands amorphous alloys. A ...
