Polymorphism of Nickel-Phosphorus Metallic Glasses

Abstract
It is shown that nickel-phosphorus metallic glass alloys not only exhibit two distinct local structural configurations for a given composition, but also that the configuration can be selected by choosing the appropriate processing parameters. It is also shown that the structure exhibiting the greater Knight shift exhibits a discontinuous transformation to the structure with the lower Knight shift. Measurements have been extended to amorphous alloys containing up to 42 at.% phosphorus.
