Momentum distribution of nickel and niobium in the Ni44Nb56 metallic glass by neutron Compton scattering: isotopic substitution in action.

Abstract: Drawing from our proven track record of Neutron Compton scattering (NCS) work performed on VESUVIO spectrometer at ISIS, we propose to extend our research programme of the investigation of non-crystalline solids by capitalising on the unique isotope enrichment capability of Kurchatov Institute. Neutron Compton scattering (NCS) experiments will be performed on VESUVIO spectrometer for the two samples with same chemical composition (Ni44Nb56) but with different Ni isotopes [58Ni (cross section =26.1 barn ) and 60Ni (cross section = 0.99 barn ) . This will permit us to discriminate partial kinetic energies of Ni and Nb atoms. Obtained results will be compared with existing inelastic neutron scattering data and computer simulation. As the result we will obtain a much deeper insight into the interatomic bonding interaction and atomic dynamics in the metallic disordered systems.
