Ambient Zinc K-Edge Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Studies on Solid Solution Hardening of the Ternary Alloys

Figure 7

(a) A difference of NN distance (Zn−Se bond length) in the ternary alloy with respect to Be content (x) and the equilibrium Zn−Se bond value in strain free binary crystal (2.58 Å) is plotted in a bottom curve. Positive values of ΔL indicate decrease in average Zn−Se bond lengths with the corresponding solid solution hardening induced by increasing the Be concentrations. (b) Zn−Se bond-length (L) distributions calculated from the disorder obtained in the first Se neighbor distances of Zn core are depicted by an upper curve.
