The specific volumes of the Zr{sub 41.2}Ti{sub 13.8}Cu{sub 12.5}Ni{sub 10.0}Be{sub 22.5} alloy as a function of temperature, T, are determined by employing an image digitizing technique and numerical calculation methods applied to the electrostatically levitated spherical alloy. The linear fitting of the volumes of the alloy in the liquid, V{sub l}, glass, V{sub g}, and crystalline V{sub c}, states in the temperature ranges shown in parentheses are V{sub l}(T)=0.1583+8.877{times}10{sup {minus}6}T(cm{sup 3}/g) (700{endash}1300 K);V{sub g}(T)=0.1603+5.528{times}10{sup {minus}6}T (400{endash}550 K);V{sub c}(T)=0.1583+6.211{times}10{sup {minus}6}T(400{endash}850 K). The average volume thermal expansion coefficients within the temperature ranges are determined to be 5.32, 3.39, and 3.83{times}10{sup {minus}5} (1/K) for the liquid, glass, and crystalline states, respectively. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
