On the structure of Fe-B metallic glasses of hypereutectic concentration

Abstract
The radial distribution function of a Fe85B15 glass has been calculated by means of relaxed dense-random-packing models. The partial radial distribution functions for Fe-Fe and Fe-B pairs have also been derived from X-ray and neutron diffraction data for the Fe83B17 glass. Based on these results, a particular structural feature of Fe-B glasses with low boron concentration is discussed.
