Abstract Recently, 31P two-dimensional (2D) NMR has been proposed as a powerful tool for direct investigations of the connectivities between the Qn units in glasses, i.e. the medium-range order. In this paper, the principles of these experiments and applications to both polycrystalline Mg2P2O7 and a Na2O-P205 glass are demonstrated, including a theoretical description and modelling of the polarization transfer between the two inequivalent phosphorus sites in the magnesium pyrophosphate.

AbstractA local short-to-intermediate range order of liquid Al80Co10Ni10, Al72.5Co14.5Ni13, and Al65Co17.5Ni17.5 alloys was examined by X-ray diffraction and the reverse Monte Carlo modelling. The comprehensive analysis of three-dimensional models of the liquid ternary alloys was performed by means of the Voronoi-Delaunay method. The existence of a prepeak on the S(Q) function of the liquid alloys is caused by medium range ordering of 3d-transition metal atoms in dense-packed polytetrahedral clusters at temperatures close to the liquidus. The non-crystalline clusters, represented by aggregates of pentagons that consist of good tetrahedra, and chemical short-range order lead to the formation of the medium range order in the liquid binary Al-Ni, Al-Co and ternary Al-Ni-Co alloys.

AbstractUsing fluctuation microscopy, we show that ion-implanted amorphous silicon has more medium-range order than is expected from the continuous random network model. From our previous work on evaporated and sputtered amorphous silicon, we conclude that the structure is paracrystalline, i.e. it possesses crystalline-like order which decays with distance from any point. The observation might pose an explanation for the large heat of relaxation that is evolved by ion-implanted amorphous semiconductors.
