Geometry of the Structure of Amorphous Metal Evaporated Under Microgravity Condition

In Ref. 1 the principle of the adequacy between the stability of the structure of amorphous metals and the completeness of the set of configuration vacancies has been introduced. The principle of adequacy is valid for all the methods of amorphous solid metals production described in Ref. 2. This principle is the basis of the proposed novel technology of production of stable amorphous films sputtered on the cold substrate. The technology proposed takes into account the geometry of microgravity in the film structure and thus excludes the effect of the film burst crystallization.
