Abstract
A solid-state amorphization reaction is observed on hydrided, initially single-crystalline, Fe2Er powder samples (Fe2ErHx, 3.0 < x <3.4). Specific-heat measurements at constant concentration (x=3.4) show pronounced premelting effects exhibiting a lambda-type transition at Tc=475.6 K and a logarithmic temperature dependence. This typical feature of an instability underlying the "melting" transition has been predicted if the vitrification occurs in the vicinity of the triple point between supersaturated crystal, undercooled liquid, and glass.
