LOCAL ORDER FOR TERNARY MATERIALS IN A CRYSTAL.
Abstract
The coding technique for describing order in a binary material (Phys. Rev. v104 p350 1956) is extended to describe a ternary substitutional material. The coding is so constructed that in the limit as the third component becomes small, the ternary-order parameters approach the Warren-Cowley binary-order parameters. Bounding values developed for the various-order parameters result from geometrical considerations. The number of each kind of pairs must be non-negative. The Schwarz inequality technique must be applicable to the coding function. A simple scattering problem using the order parameters is presented. An experimental approach to measuring the order parameters is suggested. (Author)
