Supersaturated Solutions

AbstractThis paper briefly traces the study of the preprecipitation or cold-aging stage of the decomposition of supersaturated solutions by means of diffuse scattering of X-rays.This part of the overall precipitation process is of considerable practical as well as theoretical interest because it is during preprecipitation that changes in many physical and mechanical properties take place without the formation of a precipitate phase.Examples will be given to show the types of zones encountered during this stage in various age-hardening alloys. These will attempt to illustrate the contribution which the study of diffuse scattering of X-rays, guided by present-day concepts of crystal imperfections, has made toward a better understanding of the precipitation process in alloys.

AbstractWe review results obtained in the study of the diffuse scattering in the i-AlPdMn quasicrystal. Most of the diffuse scattering is the result of long wavelength phason modes. The shape and intensity distribution of the diffuse scattering is well reproduced using the generalised elasticity theory and two phason elastic constants. The temperature dependence of the diffuse scattering indicates a softening of the phason elastic constant as the temperature is lowered. Using coherent X-rays and photo-correlation X-ray spectroscopy, it is shown that phason modes are collective diffusive modes, in agreement with the hydrodynamic theory of long wavelength fluctuations in quasicrystals.

Point Defect Clusters

ABSTRACTTo characterize the point defects and point defect clusters introduced by ion implantation and annealing, we have used grazing incidence x-rays to measure the diffuse scattering in the tails of Bragg peaks (Huang Scattering). An analysis of the diffuse scattered intensity will allow us to characterize the nature of point defects or defect clusters introduced by ion implantation. We have also observed unexpected satellite peaks in the diffuse scattered tails. Possible causes for the occurrence of the peaks will be discussed.

Random Nature

ABSTRACTCalculations by Krivogtaz [1] dealing with quasiline formation in highly distorted lattices undergoing phase separation have been extended for randomly arranged particles. Qualitative experimental evidence from powder patterns, already in the literature for Cu-Be,Ni-Be,Cu-Ti and Nimonic alloys[2-5], have demonstrated the existence of quasilines. This extended calculation deals with ellipsoids of revolution and allows one to examine different shapes and transformation strains in an anisotropic medium. it is shown that the precipitate transformation strains play a very important role in shaping the Bragg-like profiles. This is most obvious in the intermediate stage which includes Bragg scattering from the lattice, regular static diffuse scattering and the quasiline. For precipitate sizes associated with maximum age hardening, all three normally become scrambled into a broad assymetrically shaped Bragg-like peak. However, a comparison of the theoretical calculations with experimental data from an age hardened Cu-Be alloy shows qualitative agreement, which we believe is due to the non-random nature of precipitation in this system.
