Abstract

For O in Nb the experimental scattering distribution can be described by a so-called 3-force model. The scattering pattern exhibits close similarity to the one observed for the ω-phase in some bcc alloys. It is shown that the lattice distortion calculated from the proposed 3-force model contains static fluctuation of the ω-phase. The ω-phase is closely related to the minimum in the LA 2/3 (111) phonon dispersion branch. With decreasing temperature the frequency of this phonon decreases, whereas the elastic diffuse scattering at the same position increases. This “softening” of the lattice, together with an increasing “central peak”, gives an equivalent description of the situation.
