Abstract

The asymmetry of diffraction peaks of deformed α-Cu-Ge alloy filings is determined by the center of gravity and Fourier coefficient method with computer calculations. It is shown that it is not possible to describe the asymmetry by a simple value that is a characteristic of the extent of the deformation and the Miller indices of the peak. Instead the asymmetry is highly dependent upon the initial arbitrary conditions for evaluation, which throws some doubt on the reliability of published twin fault and stacking fault probabilities.
