First Moessbauer observation of the glass transition in an amorphous metal

  • 1. McGill Univ., Montreal, Quebec (Canada). Dept. of Physics

Description

We report the first Moessbauer spectra of a metallic glass obtained above the glass transition temperature (TG). The temperature at which both the Lamb-Moessbauer factor and the average quadrupole splitting decrease sharply is in agreement with TG determined by thermal and mechanical measurements, but the width of the quadrupole splitting distribution starts to increase at a much lower temperature. These results are compared with data from similar measurements on more conventional glasses. (orig.)
