Abstract

Small angle neutron scattering on CuCo alloys containing 0.5 and 0.8 at.% Co gives evidence for precursor stages of decomposition prior to the α-phase precipitation, characterized as compositional fluctuations, small in amplitude but large in size as compared to the subsequently forming α-precipitates. The fluctuations obviously give rise to a nucleation rate significantly higher than predicted by classical nucleation theory.
