Abstract

A large kinetics hysteresis is found to exist between the forward and backward reactions of the L12 ↔ DO19 transformation in Fe3Ge. The slow DO19 to L12 transformation leaves behind very stable twins and stacking fault debris. In-situ annealing experiments in the transmission electron microscope revealed that nucleation for the reverse L12 to DO19 reaction takes place efficiently at these defects.
