The spontaneous amorphization of high-pressure quenched phases of the GaSb-Ge system has been studied by neutron diffraction while slowly heating the phases at atmospheric pressure. The sequence of changes in the structural parameters of the initial crystalline phase and the final amorphous phase is established. The behavior of the phases and the correlation in the structural features of the phase transitions and anomalous thermal effects exhibit signs of the inhomogeneous model of solid-state amorphization.
