Abstract
The specific heat of a ``splat''‐formed amorphous alloy of gold‐silicon‐germanium exhibits a very steep rise with increasing temperature near 295°K to a peak and then begins to fall before crystallization occurs. These last Cp values fall on a reasonable extrapolation of the high temperature Cp‐T relation found for the liquid alloy. These results are attributed to a glass → liquid transition in this metal system.Keywords
