摘　　要：液-液相变(liquid-liquid phase transition,LLPT)通常发生在多组元金属玻璃超过冷液相区。由于二元合金体系玻璃形成能力有限,LLPT易受结晶干扰,所以二元金属玻璃LLPT的研究鲜有报道。为了揭示二元金属玻璃的液-液相变机制,本工作通过原位同步辐射X射线和透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究了Pd_(82)Si_(18)金属玻璃在超过冷液相区的相变问题。研究发现,在等温退火的初始阶段发生了LLPT,散射结果表明LLPT会降低过冷液体密度,而且使原子结构的关联长度减小。对分布函数结果显示在LLPT过程中,中程尺度上类似于fcc结构的原子-原子连接得到了增强,但短程尺度结构则变得更加无序。TEM结果进一步表明,在LLPT过程中存在纳米尺度的结构不均匀性,印证了LLPT过程的两相共存状态。研究结果为二元合金超过冷液体发生LLPT提供了新的证据,也为揭示金属玻璃中局域结构演变和相变过程提供了新模型。Liquid-liquid phase transition(LLPT)is a universal phenomenon that occurs in different types of liquids.Understanding its mechanism can help solve the long-standing mystery of liquid and amorphous structures.In metallic liquids,LLPT has been widely reported to be observed in the supercooled liquid region in multicomponent alloy systems.However,few observations of LLPT were reported in binary metallic systems,mainly due to the poor thermal stability of these systems in the supercooled liquid region.Herein,the phase transition of Pd_(82)Si_(18) metallic glass in its supercooled liquid region was studied by in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The in situ synchrotron diffraction data revealed the precipitation of fcc crystals after 200 s of annealing at 638 K.Before 200 s,the position of the first broad diffraction peak,Q1,shifted toward lower momentum transfer(Q)values and the peak broadened,indicating the occurrence of LLPT at the initial stage of annealing.The structural changes occurring during LLPT were analyzed based on the pair distribution function;the changes were characterized by a transition from short-to medium-range orders as per the reduced atomic pair distribution function curve G(r).The intensity of peaks up to the fourth nearest neighbor shell in the G(r)curve exhibited different variations trends during LLPT.The peaks were classified into two groups:those indicating an fcc structure and those indicating a six-membered tricapped trigonal prism(6M-TTP;a typical medium-range order observed recently in Pd-based metallic glasses)structure.The number of peaks associated with the 6M-TTP structure gradually decreased during annealing.In contrast,the number of peaks associated with the fcc structure gradually increased at medium-range scale and decreased at short-range scale before 200 s.An analysis of the G(r)peaks indicated that LLPT is characterized by a transition from the 6M-TTP-type atomic cluster to a new type of cluster.This new type of cluster shows an atom
