What is amorphous

Amorphous materials are a new class of solid materials, including the kinds of glass and plastic polymers

polymers we see every day, as well as the newly developed metal-glass amorphous alloys amorphous semiconductors amorphous superconductors and so on

and so on. The atoms inside the crystalline material are periodically enacted, while there is no such periodicity inside the amorphous material. Because of the

structural differences, amorphous substances have many crystalline substances do not have excellent properties. Glass is a typical amorphous

substance, the study of its structure has been decades of history and laid a considerable foundation. Glass and high

molecular polymers and other traditional amorphous materials have long been familiar with the wide range of applications, and in the last two or three decades

developed a variety of new amorphous materials due to its excellent mechanical properties (high strength, high elasticity, high hardness, high toughness

good abrasion resistance, etc.), electromagnetic properties, chemical properties (stability - qualitatively high corrosion resistance, etc.), electrochemical properties

new amorphous materials are also used in the development of the amorphous materials.

Sex and excellent catalytic activity, has become a large class of new materials with great development potential, and because of its wide range of practical

international use and doubly favored.

Metallic glass Metallic glass is the most popular class of amorphous new materials. 1962, DUWEZ et al. from

molten metal emergency cooling made of metallic glass and began to research. Because of its excellent mechanical properties can be

used as a high-strength wear-resistant magnetic head, some of the soft magnetic properties of the metal glass can be compared with the best crystalline materials, its ferro

magnetic loss is much smaller than the crystalline materials, is the ideal electromagnetic material, some of the metal glass radiation resistance makes

it becomes a very good resistance and thermocouple materials.

Amorphous alloys Amorphous alloys are rapidly developing in recent years, with broad prospects for the application of new materials

Materials, currently available in a variety of ways to obtain, which plating and chemical plating methods to its process is simple, low cost, can be

Large-area plating and other advantages of the growing importance of people's attention. Ni-P amorphous alloys are the type of materials in this category,

In the computer hard disk, the computer hard disk, the computer hard disk, the computer hard disk, the computer hard disk, the computer hard disk and other materials. p>In the computer hard disk, magnetic recording materials, electronic materials, semiconductor materials, etc. has a wide range of uses.

Today, the preparation and structure of amorphous material research has made great progress, a variety of amorphous materials with special features

continue to emerge, amorphous materials science has become an important sub-discipline.
