Abstract

A detailed comparison of small-angle scattering (SANS) and large angle x-ray diffraction methods of characterization of precipitates was undertaken. Cobalt-rich precipitates on the order of 50 Å developed after a 17 hour anneal at 570°C were studied in a single crystal sample with SANS and with diffuse x-ray scattering near the (400)Bragg peak. Each scattering data set was analyzed independently in terms of a distribution of precipitate sizes; a detailed comparison is made of the size distribution obtained. A small interparticle interference effect is seen.
