Structural Heterogeneity of an Amorphous-Nanocrystalline Alloy Fe77Cu1Si16B6 in the Nanometer Range

Abstract: In this article, an alloy of the Finemet type Fe77Cu1Si16B6 obtained by quenching from a liquid state (spinning method) in the initial state is investigated. The main research methods were scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Methods for describing multiscale structural heterogeneities in amorphous-nanocrystalline alloys have been developed, allowing the structural state to be described and its influence on the physicochemical and technical properties to be determined depending on the technological conditions for obtaining these alloys. Representation of electron microscopic images in the form of Fourier spectra made it possible to reveal the nature of the formation of short- and middle-order in amorphous-nanocrystalline alloys according to the principle of self-similar spatial structures. The analysis of electron microscopic images by integral Lebesgue measures revealed density fluctuations over the alloy volume, which corresponds to the hierarchical representation of structural inhomogeneities in amorphous metallic alloys.
