Figure 3
DSC temperature scan performed at 5 K min−1 for the (Ge15Sb85)Sb (black) and for the (Ge15Sb85)Ge (red) samples. A clear exothermic signal is observed at 514 K in both scans (right inset), followed by a second smaller exothermic signal. The first heat release originates from the crystallization of a Sb-rich phase and the segregation of amorphous Ge, whereas the second peak is a result of the crystallization of the amorphous Ge at 604 K (left inset). The glitch observed on the scan at the Ge edge is related to a pause of a few minutes during beam loss. |
