Atomic Parameters of γ-Silver - Cadmium

Abstract

READJUSTING atomic parameters of γ-brass, we have calculated three successive sets of atomic parameters for γ-silver - cadmium. These sets we tested by comparing the intensities calculated with them with the observed intensities of the reflections of γ-silver - cadmium. For our thrice readjusted atomic parameters, namely, a = 0·105, b = 0·175, c = 0·358, d = 0·310, and e = 0·038, the agreement between the observed and the calculated intensities was sufficiently good to afford confirmation of the correctness of these values. Interatomic distances calculated from these adopted atomic parameters suggests a regular distribution of the silver and the cadmium atoms, silver atoms occupying positions of B atoms and C atoms, cadmium atoms those of A atoms and D atoms.
