Static Displacements and Short-Range Order in Ni-14 at. % Ir Alloy

Abstract

In this paper, we are proposing a novel method to estimate static displacements of atoms caused by size effects in fcc substitutional binary polycrystalline solid solutions. Fourier transforms of static displacements of the atoms on every considered shell were calculated using the equations that include dynamical matrix and Fourier transform of interatomic forces. Short-range order parameters on the first seven shells of Ni-14 at. % Ir alloy have been identified from X-ray diffuse scattering intensity by accounting microscopic static displacements of atoms on a particular shell. Pairwise interatomic potentials on the considered shells and critical temperature of disorder-order phase transition were calculated using values of short-range order parameters.
