Ordering of FePd alloys with compositions 75 to 95 at% Pd is studied by X‐ray diffraction of multicrystalline samples in the temperature region up to 800 °C. The lattice parameter is also measured. The critical temperature for LRO in the 75 at% sample is found to be Tc = (640 ± 10) °C. No LRO is found at any other composition, but the possibility of local order in the 80at% sample exists on the basis of deviations observed in the diffuse scattering. The results support a first order reaction for LRO in the 75 at% sample. A small contraction is observed in the lattice of the 75 at% sample at disordering, in contrast with the dilatation observed in other A3B type superstructures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
