Abstract

Our results of in situ diffuse scattering of neutrons in Ni3V and Pt3V are presented. In the Ising model framework, effective pair interactions (EPI) up to the 9th neighbor were extracted from the data. These EPI were used to explain successfully the transition temperature of both compounds, the core structure of the dislocations in Ni3V, and the occurrence of long periods in Pt3V. The need of approximations yielding long-range EPI is stressed. We give a description of the Gamma Expansion Method (GEM). Because of its mean field nature, we expected the GEM to fail in the highly degenerate case of Pt3V. We tested it in that case, and found it completely successful. This gives more confidence in the mean field approximations.
