Abstract
Amorphous Pd80Si20 was irradiated with fast neutrons (≳1 MeV) to a fluence of 5×1020 neutrons/cm2. X‐ray scattering intensities were measured before and after the irradiation with monochromatic Cu‐Kα1 rays. Scattered intensities for s≳0.4 Å−1 (s=2 sinϑ/λ) proved unaffected, while intensities were found remarkably enhanced for s−1 after the irradiation, i.e., in the small‐angle region and the leading edge of the first halo. The results are discussed in relation to the structural anomalies in amorphous solids.Keywords
