Au/In bilayer samples of different stoichiometries were studied using the t
ime-differential perturbed angular correlation technique. The In-111 probe
atoms were deposited at the gold/indium interface to follow the formation o
f the intermetallic compounds at an early stage. Au-In phases of different
composition (AuIn2, AuIn, Au7In3, Au3In) were created at the interfaces upo
n annealing. In addition a metastable Au7In3(m) phase, observed only after
quenching in the bulk Au0.7In0.3 alloy, was found.
