Abstract
Amorphous Cu66Zr34 alloy decomposes into Cu, ZrO2, and residual amorphous phase after oxidation, mainly due to differences between the oxygen affinity to Cu and Zr. A four-layer structure formed near the surface consisting of two oxidized layers, a transition region, and the matrix. The crystalline phases exhibited a gradient distribution along the thickness. The oxidized ribbons showed an adjustable temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity as a function of thickness. Near constant electrical resistivity (TCR â 0) could be obtained with a thickness of 20 μm. Such transformation can be utilized for producing precision wires or thin-film chip resistors through oxidation.
