摘要
Structural studies below and above the glass transition of bulk-amorphous Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 were performed by means of high-temperature positron-lifetime measurements using a Co-58-positron source. A dense atomic packing is concluded from the observation of thermal detrapping of positrons from free volumes at elevated temperatures below the glass-transition temperature T-g. At T-g a structural relaxation is detected and indirect indications of the thermal formation of structural free volumes are found. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
