It has been claimed that the effective Peierls stresses and mobilities of certain dislocations in TiAl are influenced by the anisotropy of bonding charge densities. This claim is based on the angular variation of electron charge density calculated by theory. It is important to verify the results of these calculations experimentally, and the present paper describes a series of such experiments. A description of the bonding charge density distribution in materials can be obtained by utilizing the charge deformation density (Δρ (r)) defined by(1) where V is the volume of the unit cell, Fobs is the experimentally determined low order structure factor and Fcalc is the structure factor calculated using the Hartree-Fock neutral atom model. To determine the experimental low order structure factors, a technique involving a combination of convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been used.
