Time-differential perturbed-angular-correlation study of the electric field gradient in amorphous Zr68Hf2 Cu30

Abstract

The electric field gradient at Zr sites has been measured by time-differential perturbed angular correlations in amorphous and crystalline ${\mathrm{Zr}}_{68}$ ${\mathrm{Hf}}_2$ ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{30}$ alloys. The results support a dense random packing of atoms and discard any kind of regular atomic arrangements in the amorphous alloy.
