Abstract

The local electronic structures of representative amorphous alloys have been calculated using the SCF-Xα-SW cluster molecular orbital method. Prototype cluster models have been constructed for Cu-Zr and Pd-Si alloys which exemplify two major classes of binary (A-B) glass-forming systems, namely: (1) metallic glasses based on noble or transition elements (e.g., A=Cu) toward the right of the periodic table and transition elements (e.g., B=Zr) toward the left of the periodic table; (2) metalloid glasses based on transition elements (e.g., A=Pd) toward the middle of the periodic table and nonmetallic elements (e.g., B=Si) toward the right of the periodic table. The calculated electronic structures are in good quantitative agreement with, and provide an interpretation of, published photoelectron spectra for the above amorphous alloys.
