By using the X-ray diffraction technique, residual short-range order was detected in CeInCu2, cerium dicopper indium, which is known to be a heavy fermion compound. In spite of the long-range order of this substance, diffuse scattering exhibiting short-range order was observed at room temperature. The correlation parameters obtained showed that an incorrectly occupied lattice site has a tendency to gather atoms of different species at the neighboring sites along the 〈111〉 directions. Thus, the disordered region would form a cluster composed of several disordered atoms. Furthermore, a chain-type correlation which has a period of 20–23 Å along the same directions was indicated. The superstructure-like feature of the disordered atoms hardly increases the residual resistivity. It is consistent with the behavior of the residual resistivity under high pressure.

Abstract X-ray Diffraction Study of Molten Tellurium An X-ray diffraction apparatus with focusing geometry used for the investigation of free surfaces of melts and a computer programme for the analysis of scattering intensities are discribed. The results of our measurements on molten tellurium at 480, 550 and 620 °C are presented and compared with a model of the temperature change of the short range order in molten tellurium as described by Cabane, Tourand and Breuil 14-17. The important result is that the number of nearest neighbours is approximately 3 at all the 3 temperatures. This suggests that the short range order is changing at the melting point from a chain structure to an antimony-like structure.

Abstract At temperatures just above the melting point molten Selenium seems to be a mixture of long chains and eight-membered rings. With increasing temperature the number of rings and the average chain length decrease. At 460 °C the average chain length lies in the range of 10 atoms.In a slightly supercooled Tellurium-melt the number of first neighbours is two. The atoms are arranged in chains. Selenium rich Se-Te-alloy-melts are built up of mixed chains. It seems to be possible, that a smaller part of atoms forms Se6Te2 rings. At Tellurium concentrations higher than approximately 50 at.-% the chainlike structure with two next nearest neighbours changes to a disturbed Arsen-like short range order. The number of electrons in the first coordination shell, the short range order parameter introduced by Cowley and the partial coordination numbers show that Se-Te-alloys are of the "solution system" type, but in the whole concentration range for each atom there is a tendency to have "strange coordination".

Anorthite and gehlenite crystalline structure and short-range order of anorthite melt have been studied by X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from room temperature up to ~ 1923 K. The corresponding anorthite and gehlenite phases were identified as well as amorphous component for anorthite samples having identical shape to XRD pattern of the anorthite melt. The structure factor and the radial distribution function of atoms of the anorthite melt were calculated from the X-ray high-temperature experimental data. The partial structural parameters of the short-range order of the melt were reconstructed using Reverse Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract Neutron scattering results on Se1-xTex melts (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.8) obtained at 460 °C are combined with earlier X-ray diffraction data. The behaviour of the number and distance of nearest neighbours is discussed with respect to chemical short-range order and transition from twofold to three-fold coordination. For Se70Te30 the radial concentration correlation function 4πr2 ρcc(r) has been evaluated. It shows clearly the preferred formation of unlike pairs (Se-Te) within the chains.

The short-range order in the near surface region of the Cu3Au(001) face was investigated above the critical temperature by glancing-incidence x-ray diffraction, measuring the diffuse intensity throughout a two-dimensional region of reciprocal space. This intensity was analyzed quantitatively to obtain the two-dimensional Cowley–Warren short-range-order parameters and atomic displacements. Monte-Carlo simulation based on these values has revealed that the atomic configurations in the surface consist of ordered domains and clusters in a disordered matrix. There is a large number of {10} antiphase domain boundaries (APDB).
