A new technology for obtainment of amorphous single-component metals is presented.
For the first time the reduction of molybdenum oxide with formation of its amorphous phase is realized in conditions of a given quantum-chemical technology by means of vibrationally excited to the third quantum level hydrogen molecules with 1.5 ± 0.2 eV energy. The evidences of formation of this nonequilibrium amorphous phase are presented along with certain physicochemical properties of the obtained amorphous molybdenum.
A model is proposed for the origin of amorphous phase under the influence of nonequilibrium quantum-chemical technology.
