A structural study of an as-quenched decagonal Al75Fe15Ni10 alloy has been carried out by anomalous x-ray scattering (AXS) as well as ordinary x-ray diffraction. The environmental radial distribution functions (RDFs) for Fe and Ni determined by the AXS measurements turned out to resemble each other and to be similar to the ordinary RDF obtained by ordinary x-ray diffraction. These results clearly show that the Ni and Fe atoms are homogeneously distributed and occupy the same sites in the decagonal structure of Al75Fe15Ni10.

Abstract The structure of a new amorphous Al87Y8Ni5, indicating high strength and good ductility, was studied by anomalous X-ray scattering (AXS). For comparison, a binary amorphous Al90Y10 alloy was also investigated. The environmental radial distribution functions around Y and Ni as well as the ordinary RDF in the ternary alloy, and the environmental RDF around Y and the ordinary RDF in the binary alloy were determined. From the analysis of these RDFs it is found that the Y atoms are completely surrounded by Al in the binary alloy, and that some of these Al atoms are replaced by Ni atoms in the ternary alloy.

The x-ray scattering from liquid copper, silver, tin, and mercury was measured at temperatures of 1125°C, 1050°C, 335°C, and 28°C, respectively, from the open surface of horizontal samples using a focusing theta-theta diffractometer, quartz crystal monochromator positioned in the diffracted beam, scintillation detector, and pulse height discriminator. The effect on the measured intensities of the positioning of the sample with respect to the diffractometer axis and the meniscus of the liquid were considered. Calibration of the primary beam intensity by measurements on liquid mercury provided an alternate check of the standard normalization procedures for copper, silver, and tin. After calculation of the interference functions, atomic and radial distribution functions were evaluated from which interatomic distances and coordination numbers were obtained. The interatomic distances in the liquid were in good agreement with the GOLDSCHMIDT diameters of the respective elements.

AbstractThe environmental radial distribution functions (RDFs) around Cu and Fe as well as the ordinary RDF of an as-quenched Al65Cu20Fe15 alloy have been determined by anomalous x-ray scattering (AXS) and conventional x-ray diffraction techniques. The experimental information indicates that a strong directional dependence along the symmetrical axes exists for the Cu atoms but not for the Fe atoms. Almost identical RDFs were also obtained in both the as-quenched and fully-annealed states of the Al65Cu20Fe15 alloy. Thus, the small differences observed between diffraction profiles of the as-quenched and annealed samples of this alloy may be attributed to defects or strains introduced during the rapid quenching process.
