Abstract

The Al-Zr system was investigated in an effort to form quasicrystals. While no quasicrystals were found, a metastable phase previously formed only by annealing of a metastable solid solution was observed. This phase was formed by thermal annealing or by elevated temperature ion irradiations of thin film specimens. This work is the first observation of ion irradiation induced formation of this metastable phase.
