Abstract

Ni-Fe-Zr based Metallic glassy ribbons were prepared by melt spinning technique. The compositional and structural integrity of the melt spun ribbons were verified by means of X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDX and DSC. 5 to 7 cm long ribbons of Ni-Fe-Zr based metallic glasses with different compositions were sealed inside quartz ampoules under vacuum. The sealed metallic glassy ribbons were nano-crystallized at 973 K for varying periods of time. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of the nano-crystallized samples had been investigated over the temperature range 25-280 K. The crystallized ribbons at 973 K for periods for less than 4 hours displayed insulating electrical behavior like at low temperatures, while those annealed for more than 4 hours showed metallic behavior like. Nonlinear I-V characteristics were also observed at low temperatures for samples annealed for less than four hours.
