| Research Abstract |
A structural relationship among amorphous, quasicrystal, and crystal in metallic glasses was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. Angstrom-beam electron diffraction technique was first developed using a scanning transmission electron microscope to take local structural information from glass states. We examined local atomic structures of a quasicrystal-forming Zr-Pt glass using this technique and then found that the observed icosahedra in the glass state are distorted compared with those in the quasicrystal.
