k3-weighted FT of (a) the Ti K-edge for NiAl-Ti, (b) the Cr K-edge for NiAl-Cr and (c) the Co K-edge for NiAl-Co. The radial structural functions (RSFs) of NiAl-Ti and NiAl-Cr are quite different from the RSF of NiAl-Co. For NiAl-Co the k3-weighted FT of the EXAFS function exhibits an almost resolved doublet, while for NiAl-Ti and NiAl-Cr it is no longer a doublet. This indicates that they have a different site preference. Based on the hypothesis by Chartier et al. (1994) and Balasubramanian et al. (1995), it can be concluded that Ti and Cr prefer to reside in the Al site while Co prefers to reside in the Ni site. |
