Abstract
Abstract Chemical short-range order (CSRO) in amorphous CuxTi100−x samples prepared by mechanical alloying of elemental metal powders and mechanical grinding of intermetallic compounds has been examined by EXAFS. Curve fitting for the Fourier filtered first shell of the Fourier transform of EXAFS was conducted to determine the Cu coordination numbers. The Cowley CSRO parameter deduced from the coordination numbers shows a monotonic decrease with increasing Cu concentration. It is positive in the range of x 68. This behavior is quite different from the results of rapidly quenched CuTi amorphous alloys whose CSRO parameter is negative for all compositions. The ratio of coordination numbers of Cu and Ti atoms, NCu/NTi, increases lineary for x 57. The origin of CSRO in mechanical alloyed samples is probably due to inter-diffusion of Ti into Cu, while CSRO of samples derived from the liquid state is fixed during rapid quenching.
