AbstractA modification of the theory of X-ray radial distribution analysis is presented. This modification can serve as a guide to the values of the unit cell dimensions and may be useful in indexing powder patterns of unknown structures, although the use of trial and error methods is not eliminated. This technique is shown to give consistent results with known structures and is applied to the indexing of powder patterns of Pu3Ru and Pu5Ru3. The powder pattern of Pu3Ru can be indexed on the basis of an orthorhombic unit cell with a0 = 6.216 Å, b0 = 6.924 Å, and c0 = 8.093 Å, and Pu5Ru3 on the basis of a tetragonal unit cell with a0 = 8.092 Å and c0 - 10.023 Å.

ABSTRACTBulk forms of Refractory Alloy Glasses (RAGs) of the composition Ni60Nb37Sn3 have recently been synthesized as part of a larger project for potential use in structural applications. Modeling efforts of such metallic glasses have traditionally involved the use of hard sphere models without regard to potential electron density fluctuations of individual components. X-ray characterization of these materials (in both reflection and transmission modes) provided scattering data necessary for subsequent radial distribution analysis, which gives structural information such as nearest neighbor distances and packing characteristics. A model radial distribution function (RDF) was constructed based upon a hard sphere space filling assumption and compared to the RDFs obtained from experimental scattering data. The experimental RDFs showed no difference from the model RDF within the limit of experimental error, with regard to nearest neighbor distances and coordination numbers of the first two nearest neighbors.Additionally, transmission mode scattering experiments from a white beam x-ray source (E = 2 to 40 keV) demonstrated a through thickness amorphous structure of 2mm thick samples. Converted line profiles from the two-dimensional diffraction patterns from this experiment also showed agreement with reflection mode experiments. Samples of Vitreloy-106 (Zr57Nb5Cu15.4Ni12.6Al10) of similar thicknesses were used as standards due to the well-known behavior of this particular class of metallic glasses.
