Transformation of the surface of the amorphous alloy Fe70Cr15B15 under stress
Korsukov V. E., Luk'yanenko A. S., Obidov B. A., Svetlov V. N.
The nucleation and growth of a roughness on the surface of an amorphous iron alloy as the result of the application of a uniaxial tensile stress have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Removal of the load causes the roughness to disappear in a process in which a cracked structure forms at the surface.
