The pressure effect on amorphous-to-quasicrystalline-to-intermetallic phase transformations in a Zr70Pd30 metallic glass has been investigated by in situ x-ray diffraction measurements using synchrotron radiation. It is found that the glass crystallizes in two steps: (1) amorphous-to-icosahedral quasicrystalline and (2) icosahedral quasicrystalline-to-intermetallic Zr2+xPd alloy. The intermetallic alloy has a tetragonal structure with lattice parameters, a=3.310(1) A and c=10.974(1) A, and a space group of I4/mmm. External pressure enhances the onset temperatures for the formation of quasicrystalline phase and intermetallic compound with rates of 11±3 and 9±4 K/GPa, respectively, while the temperature interval for the stability of quasicrystals remains almost unchanged in the pressure range of 0–3 GPa. External pressure does not affect the phase-selection sequence. The enhancement of the onset temperature for the formation of quasicrystals has been further discussed with the nucleation theory.
