We have found that the single quasicrystalline phase can be formed in the metallic glass annealed from 641 to 750 K, which covers all the super-cooling range of the alloy, indicating that the first exothermic peak in the DSC trace (Fig. 1) corresponds exclusively to the formation of quasicrystalline phase.
