Structural and Magnetic Properties of “Thick” Microwires Produced by the Ulitovsky-Taylor Method
The structural and magnetic physical properties of initial and annealed Co-rich microwires in a glass
shell with the diameter D = 70-125 μm and the diameter of the amorphous metallic core d = 70-95 μm,
produced by the Ulitovsky–Taylor method, have been studied. The magnetic characteristics, in particular,
the saturation field HS and the coercive force HC of the samples were found to depend on annealing temperature.
The obtained experimental data was explained by the structural peculiarities of the microwires.
The near-surface values of HS and HC were found to be larger than the bulk values by a factor of 5–10.
These experimental data have been explained by the existence of structural and chemical ingomogeneities
in the near-surface layer, which are inherent in amorphous materials.

Structure of the icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni quasicrystal
The atomic structure of the icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni quasicrystal is determined
by invoking similarities to periodic crystalline phases, diffraction data and
the results from ab initio calculations. The structure is modeled by
decorations of the canonical cell tiling geometry. The initial decoration model
is based on the structure of the Frank-Kasper phase W-TiZrNi, the 1/1
approximant structure of the quasicrystal. The decoration model is optimized
using a new method of structural analysis combining a least-squares refinement
of diffraction data with results from ab initio calculations. The resulting
structural model of icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni is interpreted as a simple decoration
rule and structural details are discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
