Determination of the atomic short-range order in a Tb-Cu amorphous alloy by X-ray and neutron diffraction

Abstract In the present work, amorphous Si0.40C0.24N0.36 samples were investigated. X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments were performed, in order to evaluate the structure factors by the method of contrast variation. The structure can be described as crosslinked Si-N-C matrices. Within these matrices SiN4 tetrahedra are predominant. Direct Si-Si contact does not occur. We report on the short range order and the nature of chemical bonding.

Total Structure

By means of X-ray diffraction in transmission the molten MgxZn(1oo-x)-alloys (x = 0, 8, 15, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 73, 80, 90, 100) were investigated and the total structure factor S (Q) , the total pair correlation function, the number of nearest neighbours as well as the atomic distances were evaluated. For 30 ≦ x ≦ 80 a premaximum in S (Q) was observed which is caused by chemical short range order. The comparison of the premaximum of the Mg70Zn30-melt with that of the corresponding amorphous alloy shows that within the melt the chemical short range order amounts to about 40% of that of the amorphous alloy.

Crucial Problem

In order to determine short-range order in a solid solution from diffuse X-ray or neutron diffraction experiments the separation of atomic size effects from the experimental data is a crucial problem. It is demonstrated by a model calculation that a clear improvement of the separation method proposed by Borie & Sparks is obtained if the range of measurement is extended to include the first Brillouin zone.

Abstract Partial structure factors and atomic distribution functions for liquid Fe75 B25 were determined for the Fe-Fe and Fe-B pairs by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction. The experimental results show a strong chemical short-range order in the melt which is similar to that of amorphous Fe75B25.
