Abstract:X-ray scattering from a tetragonal single crystal of YBa2(Cuo.955Alo.o45)3C>7 shows diffuse streaking in [110] directions about the Bragg peaks. Through a quantitative calculation using a coupled concentration wave, static displacement wave approach, we show that this is essentially attributable to the shear displacement field produced by a disordered oxygen array on the Cu(0-O "chain" plane. We also observe pronounced short-range chain order (local orthorhombic fluctuations) whose correlation range is consid… Show more
“…Skjerpe et al 1992) showed, by kinematical calculations of the diffraction intensities, that YBa,Cu,O, with an average domain size below about 20 nm will appear tetragonal when only the fundamental reflections are considered. On the other hand, through calculations using a coupled concentration wave-static displacement wave approach, Jiang et al (1991) and Cai, Zhu and Welch (1992) generated excellent matches of intensity profile of the diffuse scattering in the a*-b* plane to that observed in X-ray and TEM experiments. They concluded that the shear displacement field (Huang scattering) produced by randomly distributed oxygen (Jiang et al 1991) or oxygen clustering (Cai et al 1992) on the C u ( l k 0 'chain' plane is responsible for diffuse streaking in [llO] and [TlO] directions through the Bragg peaks.…”

ABSTRACT:We've been studying the "tweed" precursors above the martensitic transition in shapememory alloys. These characteristic cross-hatched modulations occur for hundreds of degrees above the first-order shape-changing transition. Our two-dimensional model for this transition, in the limit of infinite elastic anisotropy, can be mapped onto a spin-glass Hamiltonian in a random field. We suggest that the tweed precursors are a direct analogy of the spin-glass phase. The tweed is intermediate between the high-temperature cubic phase and the low-temperature martensitic phase in the same way as the spin-glass phase can be intermediate between ferromagnet and antiferromagnet.
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.
