Abstract:
We present a theoretical and experimental study of the effect of lattice distortions on the short-range order and the energetics of ordering binary alloys. Applying a reciprocal space approach which accounts for the elastic response of the lattice, the diffuse scattering of the model system Cu(83)Mn(17) can be explained with only a few physical parameters. The model calculations point to a nonanalytic diffuse intensity at q = 0. X-ray scattering experiments are presented providing clear evidence for this phenomenon which carries detailed information on the strain-induced interaction.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
