The crystallization behavior of amorphous Mo-Ge alloys in the Ge-rich region have been characterized by resistivity measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Alloys with compositions in the metalsemiconductor transition region, where two distinct types of SRO occur, show compositional segregation on a fine scale during the first transformation step. Alloys in the adjacent composition region, where SRO is similar to the intermetallic compounds, crystallize polymorphically into metastable structures based on the equilibrium intermetallic structures. The resistivity characteristics and the relationship between the amorphous and partially transformed structures are discussed.
