Abstract
Icosahedron Cu8 Zr5, derived from the Cu8 Zr3 phase structure, corresponds to the deepest eutectic Cu0.618 Zr0.382. Near this composition is the best glass-forming Cu-Zr composition, Cu0.64 Zr0.36. (Cu0.64 Zr0.36) 1-x Mx and (Cu0.618 Zr0.382) 1-x Mx were examined for glass formation, where M represents Nb, Sn, Mo, Si, V, Ag, or Ta. A series of Cu-Zr based bulk metallic glasses are discovered with minor Nb, Sn, Mo, Ag, and Ta additions (lower than 3 at. %). The minor alloying mechanism was discussed in the light of atomic size and electron concentration factors. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
