Abstract
A supersaturated solid solution was obtained in an Sn-10 at. %Sb alloy rapidly quenched from the liquid state. Decomposition of this solution, taking place during isothermal annealing at 373 K, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. In the first stage of decomposition, clustering of Sb atoms in definite planes of the tetragonal lattice of tin was observed. Subsequently, needle-like precipitates of the equilibrium compound SnSb were formed. The sequence of decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution Sn(Sb) and a model for the formation of the compound within the tetragonal lattice of tin are proposed.
