Cellular automata simulations have been performed to simulate the crystallization process under a limited growth approximation. This approximation resembles several characteristics exhibited by nanocrystalline microstructures and nanocrystallization kinetics. Avrami exponent decreases from a value n = 4 indicating interface controlled growth...

Fe75B20Nb5, Fe75Ge10B10Nb5 and Fe75Ge20Nb5 alloys were prepared by ball milling from pure powders and their microstructure and magnetic properties were studied. A nanocrystalline solid solution of-Fe type is the main phase formed, although traces of some intermetallics were found in the Fe-B-Nb alloy. The local arrangements of Fe atoms in Ge...

A procedure to optimize the isothermal calorimetric data of very slow transformation processes of metastable systems is proposed. The method uses an experimental baseline to identify the transitory effects due to the equipment. Moreover, the combined use of isothermal and non-isothermal results is shown to be effective to overcome the...
