Comparative analysis of the structure of palladium-based bulk metallic glasses prepared by treatment of melts with flux

A comparative analysis has been presented of structural features of palladium-based bulk metallic glasses prepared by argon gas casting into a copper mold after treatment of melts with a flux and studied using X-ray synchrotron radiation. The radial distribution functions have been calculated. The short-range order (in the first and second coordination shells) and the medium-range order (from the third to several subsequent coordination shells) in atomic arrangement have been analyzed.
