The pore formation and glassy structure were examined by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results show that the pores or cells are connected to each other and the specimen is composed of a mostly glassy phase. This paper provides a suitable method for fabrication of porous BMG and BMG with larger size in diameter.展开更多
