The present invention includes composition and methods for the fabrication of very-high-aspect-ratio structures from metallic glasses. The present invention provides a method for nondestructive demolding of templates after thermoplastic molding of metallic glass features.

Provided is a monatomic amorphous palladium, a method for preparing the same and use thereof. The method comprises a) loading a monatomic palladium powder on a silicon nitride substrate; b) heating the silicon nitride substrate loaded with the monatomic palladium powder obtained in a) up to a temperature of 800 C. to 1000 C. and keeping the temperature for at least 3 minutes; and c) cooling a system of palladium and silicon nitride obtained in b) to room temperature at an apparent cooling rate greater than 10.sup.3 C./second, thus obtaining the monatomic amorphous palladium.

Example embodiments relate to extreme ultraviolet absorbing alloys. One example embodiment includes an alloy. The alloy includes one or more first elements selected from: a first list consisting of: Ag, Ni, Co, and Fe; and a second list consisting of: Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt. The alloy also includes one or more second elements selected from: the first list, if the one or more first elements are not selected from the first list; and a third list consisting of Sb and Te. An atomic ratio between the one or more first elements and the one or more second elements is between 1:1 and 1:5 if the one or more second elements are selected from the third list and between 1:1 and 1:19 if the one or more second elements are not selected from the third list.

A sulfurous, metallic glass forming alloy and a method for the production thereof are described.

Examples herein generally relate to sinter blend compositions for use in a sintering process that do not contain coke breeze (0.0% coke breeze), or contain only very small amounts of coke breeze. In particular, these sinter blend compositions are capable of repurposing mixture of iron-making reverts, having high total and metallic iron levels that re-oxidize so as to become a replacement fuel source for the coke breeze typically used in sinter blend compositions for use in a sintering process, while still managing to produce a sinter with sufficient ISO tumble strengths.
