Abstract

Simple and inexpensive (?$10) demonstrations of some properties of metallic glasses are presented. Metallic glasses are new materials of intense current scientific and engineering interest. The viscoelastic behavior is observed during the phase transition from amorphous to crystalline states. Comparisons are made of some mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties between the two states. It is hoped that this note can generate interest in the undergraduate community toward working in current research areas.
