An hypothesis is put forward and tested in a number of alloy systems, which accurately predicts the phases found in codeposited alloys deposited at low substrate temperatures. The hypothesis was developed for the prediction of crystalline phases but is clearly also applicable to the prediction of amorphous phases. It is hoped that codeposited alloy thin films may provide valuable information in the further characterisation of phase diagrams and in the understanding of low temperature phase stability. |
