Abstract
The intermediate phase of the intermetallic alloy CsPb is shown to be a plastic crystal characterized by jump reorientations of Cs 4Pb 4 structural units. The wavevector variation of the elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering intensities is well reproduced by a simple model of independent structural units jumping between the four orientations observed in the crystal at room temperature. This represents the first observation of a plastic crystal phase in a metal alloy.
