The primary crystallization reaction of amorphous alloys often leads to the
evolution of nanocrystalline microstructures that gives rise to excellent
magnetic or mechanical proper ties. This paper reviews recent atom probe st
udies on the microstructure evolution of nanocrystalline and nanocomposite
metallic materials that are produced by the nanocrystallization phenomena o
f amorphous alloys. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 2000. All rights reserved.
