Scientific paper

In stone-iron meteorites the formation of metallic phases was investigated with the microprobe and by microscopy. Considered are the formation of alpha- and gamma-solid solutions as well as the phosphid, and the distribution of the elements Fe, Ni, and P in these phases. The microstructure of the meteorites can be explained by heterogeneous nucleation reactions of these phases. The alpha-solid solution forms at the interfaces of the non-metallic phases with the gamma-solid solution and at non-metallic inclusions. The phosphid forms first at the alpha + gamma-interfaces. At lower temperatures this phase forms in addition at lattice defects, which may have been introduced by a plastic wave in the meteorite at 500 C.
