A 15 at. % germanium-tellurium alloy was quenched from the melt at a rate that prevented the formationof a crystalline phase or phases. The transformation of this amorphous alloy to a crystalline state was studiedby transmission electron microscopy. It was observed that the initial crystalline phase precipitates out ofthe amorphous matrix in the form of dendrities. The later stages of crystallization are characterized bygrowth of the dendrites.
