Possible existence of liquids in an anticrystalline structural state

Effect of composition on the properties of Te–Ge thick films deposited by co-thermal evaporation

“…They did not notice any change in the crystallization behaviour for compounds with atomic percentages in Te higher than 80. On the contrary other papers dealing with Te-Ge bulk glasses or films [21,22] reported on two-stage crystallization for the Te-rich compositions. In these cases they first observed the crystallization of Te and subsequently that of Te-Ge.…”
