Abstract

As an “archtypal” spin-glass system, the local atomic arrangement in Au-Fe alloys is still a controversial subject. In the present experiment, Au-Fe alloys with Fe content from 10.7 to 33% were studied as to microstructure evolution, through various transmission electron microscopic techniques. Information derived from aging experiments using real and reciprocal spaces appears to suggest the coexistence of short-range-order and Fe-clusters. At early stages of aging, lobe-like and/or rod-shaped strain contrast images, identified as clusters, were revealed after specimens were further cleaned by an ion-miller. The (1 1/2 0) special point diffuse reflections were prominent in the as-quenched condition and/or early stage aging, and the intensifies decrease gradually as aging proceeds. After a certain period, (1 1/2 0) diffuse reflections disappear but strain contrast images still remain similar. This suggests that the strain contrast images are not related to the (1 1/2 0) diffuse reflections. High resolution electron microscopy was also employed. The results are consistent with the arguments derived from aging experiments.
