Abstract

Samples of Fe78B13Si1 and Fe66Co18B15Si1 metallic glasses were irradiated with alpha particle beams (W=2.8 MeV) using radiation doses of 1016 and 1017 cm2. Irradiation-induced effects on the magnetic and structural properties of alloy samples were studied by transmission and conversion electron Mbssbauer spectroscopy. The evolution of phases and microstructure during the radiation-induced amorphous-to-crystalline transformation was found to depend on the particle flux and sample composition. Differences between bulk and surface irradiation behaviors were demonstrated.
