We found that the BMG underwent a phase transitions of amorphous-crystalline-amorphous at 10 GPa upon heating. The parallel experiments were carried out at 7 GPa, while we did not observe the amorphous-crystalline-amorphous transitions by increasing temperature. Quenching the melted BMG at 7 GPa, it was found that the phase crystallized from the melt differed from the primary phase crystallized from the starting amorphous solid upon heating, suggesting there existed a distinct mechanism in two cases.展开更多

This work is intended to investigate the deuterium-storage re- generation of a suction-cast Ti36Zr40Ni20Pd4 quasicrystal. It was found that only through hot vacuuming the quasicrystal could be refreshed from air-flow poisoning to absorb deuterium in two cycles. During the first absorption course, a pregnancy period was observed before the real deuterium uptake while deuterium was loaded rapidly during the second one. The deuterium concentration in the alloy can reach 0.011 mol.D2/（g.M） （corresponding to a hydrogen mass percent of 2.2%. D2 and M denote molecular deuterium and the metallic alloy）. But the loaded deuterium was very difficult to release completely even by eight-stage desorption at different tem- peratures. After the second desorption, the quasicrystal phase remained in a small volume, as though the desorption temperature was beyond the crystallization temperature of the quasicrystal. This probably is attributed to the solution function of residual deuterium in the alloy.展开更多
