Abstract

Phase equilibria along the CoGa-CoAs join were determined by DTA and metallography. On the basis of these data and the phase diagram of Co-Ga-As at 600 °C, thermodynamic values for the various phases along the GaAs-Co join were estimated. The Gibbs energy of the amorphous phase is approximated to be that of the supercooled liquid phase. These data were used to rationalize the amorphization process.
