Oi. Barkalov et al., GLOBULAR GERMANIUM PRECIPITATION FROM SUPERSATURATED AL(GE) SOLID-SOLUTIONS PREPARED BY THERMOBARIC TREATMENTS, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 193, 1995, pp. 486-489
Decomposition due to the annealing of the Al88Ge12 (at.%) supersaturat
ed solid solution prepared by thermobaric treatment was studied by sma
ll-angle neutron scattering and X-ray diffraction. Germanium atoms pre
cipitated from the solution formed balls of nanoscale sizes. The depen
dences of the balls' radius on the annealing temperature and time were
studied.
