Methods for analyzing small‐angle neutron scattering data for single crystals with anisometric precipitates and anisotropic arrangement are described. A method for projecting the measured scattering intensity in a (110) plane and obtaining the anisotropic correlation function is described. The method uses an indirect Fourier transformation with Hermitian functions as the basis. The correlation function gives model‐independent information on the precipitate form and arrangement. A modified paracrystal cluster model is also introduced and size polydispersity is included in a local monodisperse approximation. The size distribution is obtained by least‐squares fitting. The correlation function and the cluster model give consistent results for the morphology of precipitates in Ni‐rich Ni–Ti single crystals.
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.
