ABSTRACTA new method of preparing amorphous solids is presented. X-ray diffraction, thermal stability and Mgssbauer spectroscopy give evidence for an atomic structure with reduced short–range order in Si75Auz5 and Pd72FeloSil8 alloys prepared by this method.

Abstract We present structural investigations using the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXD)- method on amorphous Fe-Tb- and Fe-Co-Tb-alloys over an extended concentration range. Atomicdistances. partial coordination numbers, and chemical short range order parameters are reported. The short range order is characterized by a compound forming tendency. In an amorphous Fe-Co- Tb-alloy, doping with hydrogen affects the short range order and gives rise to an in-plane magnetization direction.

The atomic structure of the Au 6 × 6 on Si(111) phase has been determined using direct methods and surface X-ray diffraction data. This surface structure is very complicated, with 14 independent gold atoms, relaxations in 24 independent silicon sites and three partially occupied gold sites. In one sense the structure can be described as microdomains of the parent [Formula: see text] on Si(111) structure. A better description is in terms of a tiling of incomplete pentagonal and trimer units, essentially a pseudopentagonal glass. In terms of these structural units it appears possible to explain all the gold structures in the coverage range of 0.8–1.5 monolayers as pseudoglasses with strong short range order but varying degrees of long range order.

Anorthite and gehlenite crystalline structure and short-range order of anorthite melt have been studied by X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from room temperature up to ~ 1923 K. The corresponding anorthite and gehlenite phases were identified as well as amorphous component for anorthite samples having identical shape to XRD pattern of the anorthite melt. The structure factor and the radial distribution function of atoms of the anorthite melt were calculated from the X-ray high-temperature experimental data. The partial structural parameters of the short-range order of the melt were reconstructed using Reverse Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract Neutron scattering results on Se1-xTex melts (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.8) obtained at 460 °C are combined with earlier X-ray diffraction data. The behaviour of the number and distance of nearest neighbours is discussed with respect to chemical short-range order and transition from twofold to three-fold coordination. For Se70Te30 the radial concentration correlation function 4πr2 ρcc(r) has been evaluated. It shows clearly the preferred formation of unlike pairs (Se-Te) within the chains.

ABSTRACTMaximum undercooling results for the icosahedral phase (i-phase), polytetrahedral C14 Laves phase, and solid solution phases are presented as a function of composition in Ti-Zr-Ni liquids. Containerless processing was achieved using the electrostatic levitation facility located at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. The maximum reduced undercooling decreases with increasing icosahedral short-range order in the ordered phase. The first synchrotron x-ray diffraction data from aerodynamically levitated liquids of Ti-Zr-Ni alloys suggest an icosahedral short-range order in the liquids, supporting Frank's hypothesis, correlating icosahedral order in the liquid with the nucleation barrier to the crystal phase. The strong negative heats of mixing between Ti/Zr and Ni and their relative atomic sizes likely favor the formation of this local icosahedral order.
