Metallic nanoglasses consist of nanometer-sized amorphous regions separated by amorphous interfaces. According to the current knowledge, the amorphous structure of these interfaces is different from that of the amorphous grains. This rather new class of material shows a different behaviour in comparison to conventional homogenous metallic glasses, e.g. a reduced density, a reduced number of nearest neighbor atoms, a different electronic structure, an increase in the ferromagnetic transition temperature and an increased thermal stability were reported. In the present work, tracer diffusion in CuZr nanoglasses and their homogenous amorphous counterparts is measured. For the investigation, a radiotracer technique via ion beam sputtering (89Zr and 55Fe radioisotopes) is applied as well as SIMS profiling using stable isotopes. The tracer diffusion measurements are demonstrated to represent a specific and sensitive probe of the structure modifications, and the results are compared to the observations made by TEM and APT.
