Metastable amorphous ferromagnetic phases in palladium-base alloys

Abstract

The existence of an amorphous phase obtained by rapid quenching from the liquid state, has been recently reported in palladium alloys containing from 16 to 22 at % silicon.(1) Since the ferromagnetic elements iron, cobalt, and nickel, form complete series of solid solutions with palladium, it was anticipated that the amorphous structure could be retained if these elements were substituted for palladium up to a certain concentration.
