Multi-element solid solution alloys are intrinsically disordered on the atomic scale, and many of their advanced properties originate from the unique local structural characteristics. We measured the local structure of a NiCoCr solid solution alloy with X-ray/neutron total scattering and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques. The atomic pair distribution function analysis (PDF) did not exhibit distinct structural distortion. But, EXAFS analysis suggested that the Cr atoms are favorably bonded with Ni and Co in the solid solution alloys. This short-range order (SRO) plays a role in the distinct low values of electrical and thermal conductivities in Ni-based solid solution alloys when Cr is incorporated. Both the long-range and local structures of the NiCoCr alloy upon Ni ion irradiation were studied and an irradiation-induced enhancement of SRO was found.
