Property changes in neutron irradiated magnetic glasses

This paper presents some results of experiments attempting to produce irradiation induced defects in metallic glasses. After neutron irradiation, transition metal-metalloid glass specimens were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy. Changes in crystallization temperatures, crystallization behaviour and Curie temperatures were found. These findings are discussed in terms of the possible effects of structural and chemical changes in irradiated metallic glasses.
