title: Nano-devitrification of glassy alloys.
abstract: This overview paper summarizes a large number of data connected with nano-devitrification of metallic glassy and amorphous alloys on heating which form nanoscale crystalline or quasicrystalline particles. In some alloys this effect leads to formation of the nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical properties compared to fully glassy and crystalline alloys.
