Schematic phase diagram of two metals A (magnetic) and B (non-magnetic) illustrating different types of decomposition which can lead to GMR effects in heterogeneous bulk alloys: (1) classical nucleation and growth of precipitates; (2) coherent or spinodal and (3) eutectic decomposition, which forms a lamellar microstructure similar to multilayers.
