Abstract
The heat capacity of the Ni0.667Zr0.333 alloy in amorphous and crystalline states is measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 12 to 325 K. The thermal behavior of the amorphous alloy is studied by differential scanning calorimetry between room temperature and 900 K. Amorphous Ni0.667Zr0.333 is found to crystallize in the range 817–874 K, with a heat evolution maximum at 841 K and an enthalpy increment Δcr H = 3.58 kJ/mol. The heat capacity data are used to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of the Ni0.667Zr0.333 alloy in amorphous and crystalline states in the temperature range 12–325 K.
