NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF THE ORDER OF THE ATOMS IN THE P PHASE AND THE R PHASE,
Abstract
The ordering of the atoms in two ternary alloys, P phase (Mo-Ni-Cr) and R phase (Mo-Fe-Mn), both structurally related to the sigma phase, has been studied by powder neutron diffraction. The at.% Mo on each site was taken to be approximately that determined in previous X-ray single-crystal studies, which showed that Mo preferentially occupies CN16 and CN15 sites. From the best fit between observed and calculated neutron diffraction diagrams it is apparent that, in the P phase, Ni preferentially occupies CN12 positions. In the R phase, Mn shows only a slight preference for CN14 and CN15 positions over CN12 positions when competing with Fe. The results are consistent with those of ordering studies of related transition element intermetallic compounds. (Author)
