We have previously 6,7 prepared quasicrystals in alloys of the Cd–Mg–RE type ... quasicrystal will be valuable for studying stabilization mechanisms and thermodynamics in binary phase diagrams.

On a binary phase diagram, regions associated by these compounds are bounded by two phase zones. The range of compositions allowed for the intermetallic is narrow, its width (in composition) ...

We use phase diagrams in a number of ways. One example is that we use phase diagrams to determine basic information about materials of interest in our research. For example, a binary ZrB 2-ZrC diagram ...
