Coordination number determination in binary alloys using electron diffraction

摘要

The theory for the extraction of accurate coordination numbers from diffraction data is extended to the case of systems containing more than one type of atom. The cases where the atoms have atomic scattering factors which are not related by a simple scale factor is treated in detail. However, it is found that by the use of known test structures the general method is only required in extreme cases if 2% error is regarded as satisfactory. [References: 27]
