Abstract

Using a millisecond time-resolved x-ray scattering technique at the National Synchrotron Light Source, we have simultaneously obtained in situ both large-angle (LAXS) and small-angle (SAXS) diffraction patterns for isothermal crystallization of amorphous Fe1−xBx (0.16 < x < 0.21) and Co1−xZrx (0.08 < x < 0.11). The large-angle x-ray data are analyzed to determine which of the two crystalline products nucleate first in each compound, and also to assess the evidence for eutectic growth as shown by a time-independent ratio of volume fractions of these product phases. The small-angle data give the length scales of the eutectic structure as well as information about its time evolution. Combining our x-ray results with TEM studies, we examine the effects of changes in temperature and composition on the structural evolution of both the amorphous and crystalline phases.
