ABSTRACTA simple macroscopic thermodynamic model for first order transitions between two amorphous phases in a one component liquid is reviewed, augmented and evaluated. The model presumes the existence in the liquid of two species, whose concentrations are temperature and pressure dependent and which form a solution with large, positive deviations from ideality. Application of the model to recent data indicates that water can undergo an amorphous/amorphous phase transition below a critical temperature Tc of 217K and above a critical pressure Pc of 380 atm.

ABSTRACTMetal mediated crystallization of an amorphous phase has been found in many systems, in which eutectic phase diagrams are formed. It is interesting to know if an amorphous phase containing two elements, which can form compound, can react and form a crystalline compound at a low temperature in contact with metals. In this paper we studied the Ag/Sil−xCx system by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). It was foundthat amorphous silicon carbide was crystallized into cubic SiC at about 800°C in areas containing Ag. The silver diffused and segregated into the a-SiC phase upon annealing. The silver grains in the original deposited layer as well as those segregated act as nucleation sites for the crystallization of β-SiC. A nucleation temperature as low as 800°C was observed.

ABSTRACTThe recently developed Environment-Dependent Interatomic Potential (EDIP) holds the promise of a new degree of transferability in describing bulk phases and defects of elemental covalent solids with a simple theoretically motivated functional form. Here we explore to what extent the environment-dependence of the model can extrapolate successes of the fitted version for Si for bulk defects to disordered phases, which involve local configurations very different from those used in fitting. We find that EDIP-Si provides an improved description of the metallic bonding bond angles of the liquid and is the first empirical potential to predict a quench directly from the liquid to the amorphous phase. The resulting amorphous structure is in closer agreement with ab initio and experimental results than with any artificial prepration method. We also show that melting of the bulk crystal and premelting of the (100)2×1 surface are reasonably well described by EDIP-Si in spite of its not being fit to any such properties.
