B. Sepiol et al., NI DIFFUSION IN THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE INTERMETALLICS NI3SB STUDIED BY QUASI-ELASTIC NEUTRON-SCATTERING, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 6(6), 1994, pp. 43-46
Nickel diffusion in the high-temperature phase of the intermetallic al
loy Ni3Sb is extremely fast compared to diffusion in other intermetall
ics. We have studied quasielastic neutron scattering, which permits us
to determine the elementary diffusion mechanism on an atomic scale. A
model explaining diffusion by Ni jumps between the alpha- and gamma-N
i sublattices of the D-03 (Fe3Si) structure has been tested and satisf
actory agreement has been obtained.
