Gf. Dirras et J. Douin, On the existence of superlattice intrinsic stacking fault-superlattice extrinsic stacking fault coupled pairs in an L1(2) alloy, PHIL MAG A, 81(2), 2001, pp. 467-478
Double-faulted ribbons of stacking faults on the same (111) plane have been
found in a L1(2) pseudobinary Ni3Ge-Fe3Ge compound. They stem from the int
eraction of coplanar (110) superdislocations giving rise to (112) dislocati
ons, which subsequently dissociate into three identical :(112) Shockley par
tials. It is shown that, provided that a larger core relaxation of the 1/3
(112) partial dislocations is assumed, the threefold dissociated configurat
ion has a lower energy than the antiphase-boundary dissociated configuratio
n.
