Long-period superlattice in dilute vanadium--oxygen alloys

Journal Article · · J. Less-Common Metals, v. 34, pp. 97-106

Alloys of vanadium containing up to 10 at.% oxygen were examined by transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction, and x-ray diffraction. The presence of the V/sub 9/O phase was confrmed, and several electron-diffraction patterns of important reciprocal lattice planes of this phase were obtained. These patterns are explained using a long- periodsuperlattice 4 x 4 x 6 vanadium atom calls in dimensions. It is further shown that the sites of this long-period superlattice correspond to tetrahedral positions for the interstitial atoms. The possibility of octahedral site occupation is discussed. (auth)
