Abstract
The ordered structures of Cu–Pt alloys containing 65–78 at. % Pt have been investigated by a combined technique of selected-area electron diffraction and dark-field electron microscopy using thin foils prepared from bulk specimens, and three different types of ordered structure have been observed. Below the order–disorder transformation temperatures, alloys containing less than about 70 at. % Pt have the rhombohedral superlattice of the Cu3Pt5 type and those with more than 70 at. % Pt, the CuPt3-type superlattice with cubic symmetry. At lower temperatures, however, the orthorhombic superlattice is stable in the composition range from about 68 to 75 at. % Pt. On the basis of the present observations, a partial phase diagram around the composition CuPt3 has been determined.
