University of Torino, via Giuria 9, 10125 Torino, Italy
Work performed at the University of Torino, Italy and at the Risoe National
Laboratory of Roskilde, Denmark, within the framework of the project “CoolCop”.
The project was financed by the European Space Agency and involved also the
German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the French Centre Interdisciplinaire de
Nanoscience de Marseille (CINaM-CNRS). We studied the metastable liquid phase
separation of Cu-based alloys.
