Nature of microheterogeneity of the amorphous structure in Cu35Zr65 alloy

By X-ray analysis and electron diffraction microscopy it is established that Cu35Zr65 amorphous alloy is subjected to natural ageing. Partial crystallization of CuZr2 phase occurs in the alloy when allowing it at room temperature during three years. Microheterogeneity of short-range order both topological and composite is shown to be observed in the amorphous phase after partial crystallization
