Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have studied possible structural changes occur ing at the Sn/Ge interface of highly milled Sn/Ge composites. EXAFS and X-ray Diffraction measurements were made on mechanically milled powders having compositions ranging from 20 to SO vol.% Sn. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate the increasing amorphization of Sn as the Sn content is decreased. EXAFS results indicate that this amorphous phase is due to the formation of an a-Sn/Ge alloy. The EXAFS from this alloy did not change significantly at the Sn melting point. X-ray diffraction measurements made at room temperature show a systematic decrease in the intensity of Sn peaks and broadening of Ge peaks with the decreasing Sn content.
