Abstract

We show that the emerging method of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) is a promising tool for investigations of slow dynamics in alloys. Examples for such dynamics are precipitate coarsening in phase-separating alloys at late stages of phase separation and movement of antiphase boundaries. For the sake of brevity we concentrate on latest results for the determination of the coarsening mechanism in the phase-separating system Al–12at.%Li at 150°C and compare it with results for Al–9at.%Zn at 0°C. Thereby, XPCS data is evaluated by the so-called fluctuation analysis technique.
