Ordering reactions in unfamiliar systems

Abstract

Metallurgical understanding of order-disorder transitions is founded largely upon observations of alloys comprised of common metals and familiar (simple) crystal structures. Historically, the principal assumptions have been that only first and second nearest neighbor atoms in the crystal interact and therefore that the requisite atom movements necessary to effect transformation are small. These assumptions have been useful since they account, at least qualitatively, for the behavior of most “classical” ordered alloys. Because of the increasing importance of unfamiliar substances in several technologies, we consider in this survey the degree to which the above concepts can be applied to less-familiar materials or crystal structures. Three types of systems are examined: 1) alloys of metallic elements, at least one constituent of which is in the less-common category; 2) interstitial ordering in dilute alloys; and 3) complex systems involving chalcogenides, oxides, and intercalation compounds. Primary emphasis is given to describing transitions and transformation mechanisms not encountered in common alloys, and to pointing out possible experimental advantages of metallurgically unfamiliar systems for studies of mechanisms and kinetics.
