Abstract

The mechanism of ultrafast cooling (1012K sec−1) by picosecond pulsed laser irradiation is reviewed, and it is demonstrated that only partitionless transformations can occur. The glass formation range in a number of binary systems is reviewed, demonstrating that many glasses can be formed below the To-line. The formation of metastable crystalline alloys in the Fe-B, Ni-Nb, Cu-Co and Au-Co systems is reported.
