Electronic structure changes with room‐temperature aging in supersaturated alloys of cadmium in zinc

摘要

The de Haas‐van Alphen effect is used to determine the change of the Zn Fermi surface parameters in dilute Zn Cd alloys containing up to 1.2 at. Cd. Its application in observing the change of the matrix band structure during room‐temperature aging is demonstrated. The presence of local concentration gradients and strain fields in the matrix during precipitation produce strong phase‐smearing effects.
