    Thin-film compound phase formation at Fe–Ge and Cr–Ge interfaces

    Phase formation was studied in the Fe–Ge and Cr–Ge thin-film systems by means of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and x-ray diffraction. In the Fe–Ge system, FeGe was the first phase to form while in the...

    Prediction of First Phase Formation at Au-METAL Interfaces Using the Effective Heat of Formation Model

    The effective heat of formation model enables heats of formation to be calculated as a function of concentration. By choosing the effective concentration at the growth interface to be that of the liquidus mini...
