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 Neutron diffraction experiments were performed with four molten Sn-Zn-alloys and the two molten elements Sn and Zn. The total structure factors and the pair correlation functions are given. The observed small angle scattering leads to the result that pairs of equal atoms predominate within the range of medium concentrations.

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.

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.

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

Abstract Amorphous and quasicrystalline samples of Al84Mn16 and Al84V16 were produced by sputtering and melt-spinning, respectively. From X-ray and neutron-diffraction-results the total structure factors were evaluated. For amorphous as well as for quasicrystalline Al84V16 the partial SAl-Al- and SAl-V-structure factors were obtained, which yield the corresponding partial pair correlation functions, the atomic distances, and the partial coordination numbers. Also some information concerning the partial Bhatia-Thornton correlation functions could be obtained. Both the amorphous and the quasicrystalline Al-V-alloys show a linear expansion by a factor of 1.03 compared to the corresponding Al-Mn-alloy. The two amorphous alloys can be designed as isomorphous, whereas the quasicrystalline ones show pronounced deviations in the distance between unequal atoms. The shortest atomic distance in amorphous Al84V16 is 2.69 A, being,formed by Al-V-pairs with a coordination number 2. The nearest Al-Al-distance amounts to 2.84 A with a coordination number 8. The partial density-concentration correlation function clearly deviates from the hard sphere model. With the quasicrystalline specimens, the isomorphous substitution of Mn- and V-atoms is not perfect. The Al-V-correlation is split up, and this is not observed for the Al-Mn-correlation. Comparison of the amorphous and the corresponding quasicrystalline alloy shows some similarities
