Abstract
The unique combination of the metallic bond and glassy structure makes amorphous metals very useful for various applications. However, in order to harvest the maximum benefit from the new materials, their physical properties must be thoroughly understood. This is not an easy task for the amorphous solids, hence the applications of amorphous metals usually precede their detailed understanding.
Here, instead of giving an extensive review of the present and potential applications of amorphous metals we focus our attention to the question why these properties. In particular we use our recent results for the magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe–Ni base alloys in order to discuss the nature of their magnetism. We also point out their exceptional frequency characteristics and discuss a possible future developments in the research and applications of amorphous metals.
