Abstract
We have investigated electron diffraction patterns of Ti-44Ni-6Fe alloy exhibiting a negative temperature dependence in electrical resistivity below Tmin = 210K. The electron diffraction patterns taken below Tmin show diffuse satellites at gB2+<ζ ζ 0>* when the zone axis is [111] B2 and [100] B2. For both beam directions, the value of ζ is slightly smaller than 1/3 and shows the same temperature dependence. On the other hand, the satellites are missing when the zone axis is [110] B2. This means that the incommensurate phase has a modulated structure with a propagation vector <ζ ζ 0>* (ζ ~ 1/3) and displacement direction is one of <110> which is vertical to the propagation vector. This modulation is obviously related to the softening of TA2 phonon branch with the propagation vector near 1/3<ζ ~ 0>*. In addition to the satellites at gB2+1/3<ζ ζ 0>*, satellites appear at gB2+<ζ ~ 0>* with ζ = 0.5 when the zone axis is [100] B2 and rod-like steaks appear in <ζ ~ 2ζ>* direction when the zone axis is [110] B2. However, these satellites and rod-like streaks do not show clear temperature dependence, suggesting that they are not directly related to the instability of the B2-type structure.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
