Two metallic glasses, Ti65Au35 and Ti40Au60, are formed by ion mixing of thin multilayered samples of Ti and Au at room temperature. Ti and Au have different crystal structures, but almost identical atomic size. The results suggest that structural differences play a main role in amorphization. Thermal stability and irradiation property of the Ti–Au metallic glasses so obtained are discussed.
