Abstract Amorphous Ni50Ta50-samples with their high crystallization temperature of 985 K were investigated. To evaluate the three partial structure factors of amorphous Ni50Ta50 one X-ray diffraction experiment was performed with Ni50Ta50 and two neutron diffraction experiments with Co10Ni40Ta50 and with Ni50Ta50, respectively. The Bhatia-Thornton partial structure factor SCC(Q) indicates rather strong chemical short range order which also explains the premaximum observed in the Faber-Ziman partial SNiNi(Q)-function. The nearest neighbor distance is 2.82 Å for Ni-Ni, 2.91 Å for Ta-Ta, and is shortest for Ni-Ta, 2.44 Å. The coordination numbers are NNiNi = 4.9, NTaTa = 8.2, and NNiTa = 6.0. We report on the chemical short range order and the possible binding behavior in a-Ni50Ta50 and compare the present results with those reported in the literature on a-Ni40Ti60 as well as on a-Ni55Ta45

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.

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

Amorphous Co25Ti75 could be produced using the melt-spin-technique. A neutron- and a X-ray-diffraction experiment was performed. Assuming SNC ≡ 0 the partial Bhatia Thornton structure factors SNN and SCC as well as the partial coordination numbers were calculated. The discussion yields the atomic distances and the chemical short range order parameters.

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.

Using the method of isotopic substitution from two neutron- and one X-ray-diffraction experiment the three partial Bhatia Thornton- as well as Faber Ziman-structure factors were determined with amorphous Cu50Ti50. The discussion yields the partial coordination numbers and atomic distances as well as the short range order parameters.

AbstractFrom neutron and X-ray diffraction investigations on liquid Ge15Te85, Sn16Te84 and Pb14.5Te85.5 alloys the coordination numbers and nearest neighbour distances of these systems are obtained. The partial structure factors and partial pair correlations reveal that the short-range order of the eutectic Ge -Te melt differs from that of the eutectic Sn-Te and Pb-Te melts

Abstract The short-range order of vitreous V20 5 and of three (Zn0)Jt(V20 5)1_x glasses with x = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.5 is studied by X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments where the change of the contrast allows to resolve the V -0 and Z n -0 correlations. The V -0 and the Z n -0 first-neighbor peaks are approximat­ ed by several Gaussian functions. In case of vitreous V20 5 two obvious V -0 distances exist which are related with V 0 4 and V 0 5 units. With ZnO additions the V -O coordination number decreases from 4.4 in vitreous V20 5 to 4.0 in the metavanadate glass where the strongest decrease of the fraction of V 0 5 units is found for glasses of * < 0.2. Dominantly, the V 0 5 groups are linked with the neighboring units by comers. The Z n-0 coordination numbers of the modified glasses are about five with closest dis­ tances of = 0.200 nm.

AbstractUsing neutron diffraction as well as the method of isotopic substitution the partial Bhatia-Thornton as well as the partial Faber-Ziman structure factors of amorphous Ni25Zr75 were determined. A compound forming tendency was found. The atomic distances, partial coordination numbers, and the chemical short range order parameter are evaluated.

AbstractLocal atomic structures around Zr and Pt in a quasicrystalline Zr80Pt20alloy, and amorphous and quasicrystalline Zr70Ni10Pt20alloys have been determined by the anomalous x-ray scattering (AXS) method. A distinct prepeak observed in an intensity profile of the amorphous Zr70Ni10Pt20alloy indicates existence of strong chemical short-range order (CSRO) clusters in the amorphous phase. Total coordination numbers around Zr and Pt in a nearest neighbor region in both alloys have been evaluated. The values around Pt are almost equal to 12 in the amorphous and quasicrystalline states suggest formation of icosahedral clusters around Pt. Some of crystalline structures formed from the quasicrystalline phases by annealing consist of icosahedral clusters of Zr and Ni atoms, or polyhedral clusters of Zr and Pt atoms similar with icosahedral clusters. The present result appears to support that the phase transformation from the amorphous to the crystal through the quasicrystal is explained by the icosahedral CSRO clusters in the amorphous and quasicrystalline states.

ABSTRACTThe short-range order of stable and deeply undercooled liquids of Al13(Co,Fe)4 alloys forming polytetrahedral phases is investigated by combining the containerless processing technique of electromagnetic levitation with elastic neutron scattering. Partial structure factors were inferred from the diffraction data which allow an analysis of both, the topological and the chemical short-range order of these alloy melts as a function of the temperature.
