Abstract
A high-resolution transmission-electron-microscopy study of the relaxa tion and crystallization of a Ni80B20 amorphous alloy has been perform ed. An intermediate state, corresponding to the crystallization of Ni3 B and to the formation of amorphous nickel, is discussed. This noncrys talline nickel is shown to consist of regions with only short-range or der, together with regions of nascent crystallinity with a high densit y of defects, which resemble grain-boundary structures.
