Neutron Diffraction with the Metallic Glass Ni81B19 Using Isotopic Substitution

Abstract

In the field of structural research of metallic T80M20-glasses (T = Fe, Co, Ni; M = B, P) at the moment large interest exists in the determination of the so called partial structure factors Smn, especially of the structure factor SMM which is determined by the arrangement of the met-alloid atoms. Since the mathematical evaluation of SMM from three measured total structur factors is rather uncertain, in [1] a method was proposed for the direct measuring of SBB in Ni81B19, the experimental realization of which will be reported in the present paper
