Bulk and near-surface microstructure of Ni-23 at.% Pt — •Markus Engelke1, Bernd Schönfeld1, and Andrei Ruban2 — 1LMPT, Department of Materials, ETH Zurich — 2KTH Stockholm, Sweden
Diffuse x-ray scattering was taken from bulk single-crystalline Ni-23.2 at.% Pt. The sample was aged at 923 K to set up a state of thermal equilibrium. Using separation techniques, short-range order and static atomic displacements were determined. In comparison with a previously performed study from the same sample to characterize the near-surface microstructure by grazing incidence diffraction, differences are noted: they mainly refer to the static atomic displacements, being smaller in magnitude in the bulk than in the near-surface region. Effective pair interaction parameters show a dominant nearest-neighbor parameter, larger than that on the Pt-rich side. This is reflected in different order-disorder transition temperatures for Ni with 25 and 75 at.% Pt (L12 structure). First-principles electronic structure calculations support these findings.
