M. Haeseseiller et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE EARLY STAGES OF THE DECOMPOSITION REACTION IN CU-0.9 AT-PERCENT TI ALLOY AT 350-DEGREES-C, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 234, 1997, pp. 986-988
The early stages of the decomposition reaction in Cu-0.9 at% Ti at 350
degrees C have been investigated by means of small- and wide-angle ne
utron scattering (SWANS). This technique is distinguished by an extrem
ely high resolution superior even to that of high-resolution transmiss
ion electron microscopy (HRTEM) and field ion microscopy (FIM). The ex
perimental results indicate a coarsening reaction of a considerably re
duced rate to take place from the very beginning of the decomposition
reaction.
