Characterisation of short-range order in amorphous and liquid systems

Short-range order of compressed amorphous GeSe2

The structure of amorphous GeSe2 (a-GeSe2) has been studied by means of a combination of two-edges X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction under pressures up to about 30 GPa. Multiple-edge XAS data-analysis of a-GeSe2 at ambient conditions allowed us to reconstruct and compare the first-neighbor distribution function with previous results obtained by neutron d...

SHORT RANGE ORDER IN ANNEALED FexSi1-x AMORPHOUS FILMS

Magnetic properties of as-prepared (sputtered) and annealed Fe,Sil-, (0.64 5 x 5 0.78) amorphous films deposited at room temperature, are interpreted in terms of chemical short-range order and compared with evaporated films deposited at 77 K. Low temperature ( 5 30 K) magnetization behaviour follows; M (T) / M (0) = 1 B T ~ / ~ c T ~ / ~ 2 with B = 1.5 x K ~ / ~ ; C = -2.610 x ~ K ~ / ~ . Relat...

CHEMICAL SHORT RANGE ORDER IN Fe20Ni60B20 AMORPHOUS ALLOY

We have seen, by Mossbauer spectroscopy, magnetization and resistivity, changes on the physical properties of the aFe20Ni6oB20 alloy induced by thermal relaxation, notedly increases in T, and resistivity. These changes can be explained by modifications of the chemical short range order around Fe favouring the formation of Fe-Ni pairs.
