ABSTRACTThe control of formation and ordering of self assembled nanostructures, with medium- to long-range order, is a challenge that limits advances in many fields of nanotechnology. We have developed a technique, which we call fluctuation x-ray microscopy, that offers quantitative insight into medium-range correlations in disordered materials at nanometer- and larger-length scales. We examined the influence of sol-gel process variables on medium range order in PI-b-PEO/ aluminosilicate bulk using this technique. The nano-structuring of inorganic materials was directed by polymer self-assembly. The medium range correlation between the nanostructures in two hybrids was quantitatively examined and compared.

AbstractA local short-to-intermediate range order of liquid Al80Co10Ni10, Al72.5Co14.5Ni13, and Al65Co17.5Ni17.5 alloys was examined by X-ray diffraction and the reverse Monte Carlo modelling. The comprehensive analysis of three-dimensional models of the liquid ternary alloys was performed by means of the Voronoi-Delaunay method. The existence of a prepeak on the S(Q) function of the liquid alloys is caused by medium range ordering of 3d-transition metal atoms in dense-packed polytetrahedral clusters at temperatures close to the liquidus. The non-crystalline clusters, represented by aggregates of pentagons that consist of good tetrahedra, and chemical short-range order lead to the formation of the medium range order in the liquid binary Al-Ni, Al-Co and ternary Al-Ni-Co alloys.
