Abstract
Containerless electromagnetic levitation was used to study the undercoolabi lity of samples of Co82Pd18 and Co50Pd50. Each sample was undercooled more than 100 times under the same experimental conditions. A model developed by Skripov is utilised to statistically analyse the distribution of maximum u ndercoolings with respect to the origin of nucleation. The results indicate a correlation between nucleation- and Curie-temperature for the Co82Pd18 a lloy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
