Abstract

The amorphous Zn41Sb59 alloy was studied by means of neutron diffraction. The sample was prepared by solid-state transformation of the quenched high-pressure phase during heating at atmospheric pressure. The data obtained were treated using the reverse Monte Carlo method. According to the radial distribution function obtained, the short-range order of the amorphous alloy was similar to that found for the equilibrium phase of the crystalline compound ZnSb at normal pressure. The effective coordination numbers for the amorphous alloy and the crystalline ZnSb were found to be 4.7 and 5, respectively.
