Abstract

Metastable crystalline phases have been produced in Al-Ge alloys by melt spinning liquid alloys and by rapidly heating thin films which are initially amorphous. The structures and compositions of these nonequilibrium phases have been characterized using convergent beam electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results of these studies are compared directly with those of previous authors in order to resolve the controversy which has existed in the literature concerning the identity of the metastable phases which form in Al-Ge alloys when processed by novel techniques such as rapid solidification.
