Metastable amorphous phases in tellurium-base alloys

Abstract

An amorphous structure has been reported in a gold-silicon alloy (2) obtained by rapid cooling through the solidification range.(3) This amorphous alloy, however, was not stable at room temperature. Crystallization into one or several metastable phases took place within twenty-four hours, and a detailed study of the structure could not easily be carried out.
