Abstract

The elastic scattering cross section for ^9Be(α, α)^9Be has been measured in a strongly resonant region from 6.00 to 6.50 MeV at a laboratory angle of 177°. This reaction has been used to investigate Be diffusion in the bulk metallic amorphous alloy Zr_(41.2)Ti_(13.8)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5) in the solid state (SS) as well as in the supercooled liquid state (SLS). Above the glass transition, i.e., in the SLS, a remarkable increase in the diffusivity of Be (about two orders of magnitude over a 40 K temperature interval) was observed, which can be explained with a modified Arrhenius fit, which takes into account the change in configurational entropy due to the glass transition.
