Solid-state amorphization reactions SSAR

Either MA or MM processes drop under more general class of solid-state amorphization reactions, SSAR. Amorphization by irradiation of solids was observed yet in the era of study of materials for nuclear reactors. In 1962, Bloch [88] amorphized UgFe by exposing it to fluxes of nuclear fission fragments. Others obsawed amorphization... [Pg.17]

The process of formation of intermediate phases at interdiffusion is accompanied by a competition between stable and metastable phases. Solid-state amorphizing reactions (SSAR) present a classical example, when at the initial stage a metastable amorphous layer is formed and grows rather than the stable intermetaUides [1-3]. It is clear that the search for possible ways to estabhsh control over phase competition is highly essential for technological processes. Another problem related to phase competition refers to the order of phases formed in thin films and multi-layers [4, 5],... [Pg.61]
