Md. Hornbostel et al., EXTENSION OF MULTILAYER PRECURSOR SYNTHESIS TO THE TERNARY INXNB3SE4 SYSTEM, Journal of solid state chemistry, 117(2), 1995, pp. 290-293
A series of elemental multilayer films was prepared with an overall co
mposition of In4Nb3Se4 with x = 0-5. The indium-containing samples wer
e found to undergo a solid-state amorphization reaction before crystal
lization while the Nb3Se4 crystallized hetero-generously at the reacti
ng niobium-selenium interfaces. The crystallization of Nb3Se4 from the
amorphous samples is studied as a function of indium composition. (C)
