Abstract
Spinodal decomposition in alloys has previously been studied1 by x-ray diffraction and conventional T.E.M., techniques which are used to reveal the wavelengths of the early stage composition modulations through diffracted intensities averaged over a large specimen area. The present paper describes recent progress on DIRECT detection by the lattice imaging technique of the localized variations in lattice parameter characteristic of spinodal decomposition. As in previous studies of ordered alloys this application of lattice imaging avoids the necessity of interpreting severe fringe distortions associated with lattice defects.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
