(a) The XRD curves of the Mg73Zn21.5Ca5.5 powders. The initial BM G-MgZn powders, the powders reacted with azo dye solutions and the powders exposed in air for one week show amorphous structure. The powders annealed at 300°C for 30 minutes show crystalline structures composed mainly of hexagonal Mg, MgZn phases and some complex intermetallics. (b) The HRTEM image illustrating formation of the amorphous structure. The inset shows the selected area nano-beam diffraction pattern. (c) The SEM image of the BM G-MgZn powders. (d) Distribution of the particle sizes with an average diameter of about 19.4 μm.
