Abstract
As molten Pd40.5Ni40.5P19 is undercooled to a temperature T that is well be low its liquidus T-l, liquid state spinodal decomposition takes place. If T is far away from T-l, wavelength lambda of the liquid spinodals can be les s than 100 nm. At this point, if water quenching is applied, upon solidific ation the final morphology consists of multiple amorphous networks intertwi ned with each other.
