Abstract
Solid State crystalline-to-amorphous transformations received recently considerable attention1due to the possibility they offer to produce bulk amorphous materials and the challenging questions that arise when trying to understand the underlying mechanisms. Various physical processes such as irradiation2, interdiffusion3, annealing4or mechanical alloying5are able to transform a crystalline material into an amorphous solid, provided the temperature does not exceed the crystallization temperature of the amorphous system at the same composition. A common feature of these processes is the intimate intermixing of the constituents and the resulting chemical disorder. For systems where important size effects exist the chemical disorder leads to amorphization6possibly related to an elastic instability as suggested by recent theoretical work7,8.
