The radial distribution function for an electrodeposited amorphous nickel-phosphorus (14.9 wt% P) alloy has been determined. The atomic distribution was found to be similar to that in a liquid metal, and more disordered than that observed in an amorphous nickel-phosphorus alloy produced by chemical deposition. Two transformations (both exothermic) were observed in this alloy; the first of which occurred at 280°±2°C with an energy of 18.5 cal/g (960 cal/g atom) and the second at 410°±5°C with an energy of 6.0 cal/g (310 cal/g atom). As deposited, the alloy exhibits only a very weak small-angle x-ray scattering, apparently not due to the presence of the phosphorus.
