Thermodynamics-guided design of a crystal-glass nano-dual-phase Al-Mn-Ru system. According to CALPHAD-calculated (Al10Mn1)1-xRux vertical section and T0 curve for the HCP (thin red line) formation of the ternary system, the team found the calculated T0 curve reaches a minimum value at ~13 at.% Ru, indicating a weaker glass formation ability than the representative glass-forming systems. The highlighted green region corresponds to the conditions for forming a crystal-glass nano-dual-phase structure.
