Abstract Neutron diffraction experiments were done on Mg-Bi melts with eight compositions. From the measured intensities total structure factors and pair correlation functions as well as radial atomic distribution functions were calculated. The concentration dependence of the measured nearest neighbour distance and measured coordination number indicates the preference of unlike nearest neighbours within the Mg-Bi melts.The neutron-intensity curves show premaxima at q ≅ 1.6 Å-1. X-Ray diffraction experiments performed on melts with three different compositions also yield corresponding premaxima. It could be shown that the premaximum intensity from the X-Ray as well as from the neutron experiment corresponds to the assumption that the premaxima are caused by modulation of the monotonic Laue scattering.

Abstract In this paper the results of X-ray diffraction experiments of Ln-Si-Al-O-N (Ln = La, Gd, Yb) glasses are presented. Total structure factors and pair correlation functions allow the determination of the first coordination sphere of Ln atoms. The bond lengths observed correspond to the ionic radii of the Ln-ions surrounded by oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The presence of non-bridging nitrogen is discussed together with results of neutron diffraction, NMR-experiments and XPS-studies of other authors.

Abstract The total structure factors as well as the total pair correlation functions for amorphous Mg85.5Cu14.5 (by neutron and X-ray diffraction) and for amorphous Mg70Zn30 (by X-ray diffraction) were determined. Both alloys show similar chemical short range order effects. From the total pair correlation function of the Mg85.5Cu14.5 glass, partial coordination numbers and atomic distances could be extracted. Comparison with the structure of crystalline Mg2Cu suggests that the short range order around the copper atoms is similar in the amorphous and the crystalline phase. The densities of both amorphous alloys were measured yielding negative excess volumina.

Abstract The molten alloys Au28.5Mn71.5 and Au68Mn32 are investigated with the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction method which works rather fast so that the evaporation loss of Mn from the molten alloys is kept low. From the observed prepeak follows that both melts are compound-forming but the gold rich melt Au68Mn32 shows only 50% of the short range order existent within the Au28.5Mn71.5 melt. Total structure factors and total pair correlation functions are discussed.

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.

The total structure factors as well as the total pair correlation functions of amorphous Mg84Ni16 and Mg30Ca70 were determined by X-ray diffraction. The Mg-Ni glass shows rather strong chemical short range ordering. By Gaussian fit of the total pair correlation function partial coordination numbers and atomic distances were obtained. Similar surrounding of the Ni atoms in the amorphous phase and in crystalline Mg2Ni was found. The structural features of the Mg-Ca glass differ from those of the Mg-Ni glass

Neutron diffraction experiments were performed with five molten Bi-Zn-alloys and the two molten elements Bi and Zn. The total structure factors and the pair correlation functions are given. The concentration dependence of the experimental nearest neighbour distances and the experimental coordination numbers is in accordance with the segregation behaviour prevailing in these melts.

Abstract Amorphous (Zr,Hf)37Si63 alloys were produced by sputtering. Their total structure factors were determined by X-ray diffraction. Using the methods of isomorphous substitution and Reverse Monte Carlo simulation, the partial pair correlation functions were obtained. The results were compared with the partial functions of amorphous Ti40Si60. In the amorphous alloys under investigation the transition metal -metalloid correlation dominates the short range order.

Abstract The binary molten alloys Mn74Si26 and Mn33.5Si66.5 have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. The total structure factors as well as the total pair correlation functions were evaluated. The interatomic distances and total coordination numbers are given. The structural results for Mn74Si26 were compared to those for amorphous Mn74Si23P3 and for a tetrahedral packing model. A pronounced shoulder on the second maximum of the structure factor, which normally is characteristic for the curves obtained with amorphous substances was observed for the Mn74Si26 melt. With the Mn33.5Si66.5 melt, however, this feature cold not be observed. Since with this concentration no glass forming by melt spinning is possible, a correlation between the shape of the second maximum of a total structure factor and the glass forming ability of the corresponding melt is suggested.

AbstractThe atomic distances in molten Cu84.3P15.7 at 770°C are smaller than those in the amorphous state at room temperature. This follows from the pair correlation functions obtained from the total structure factors. Since the weighting factors are rather inconvenient, it is not possible to draw conclusions concerning short range order in amorphous or molten Cu84.3P15.7.Small angle scattering with the amorphous specimen shows up regions with a radius of gyration of 14 Å, whose density is different from the surrounding matrix.

AbstractThe structure of amorphous NiχZr100-χ-alloys (Χ= 30, 31, 34, 63.7, and 65), which were produced by melt spinning (MS), mechanical alloying (MA), and sputtering (SP) was studied by X-ray- and neutron diffraction yielding structure factors, pair correlation functions, coordination numbers, atomic distances, and Warren-Cowley chemical short range order parameters. The atomic arrangement within the first coordination sphere is independent of the method of preparation while in the second and higher spheres it differs between the MS- and the MA-alloys on the one side and the SP-specimens on the other side. Thus one understands that some physical properties of the different specimens differ
