Using an effective genetic algorithm, we uncover the structure of a metastable Al<sub>41</sub>Sm<sub>5</sub> phase that supplements its family sharing similar short-range orders. The phase evolves upon heating an amorphous Al-9.7 at.% Sm ribbon, produced by melt-spinning. The dynamical phase selection is discussed with respect to the structural connections between the short-range packing motifs in the amorphous precursor and those observed in the selected phases. The phase elucidated here is one ...[more]
