Popis: In the present investigation it is found that in addition to the well-known short range order (SRO) and long range order (LRO) parameters the mean domain size is also a characteristic quantity for describing the state of order in alloys and can thus be used to detect the order-disorder transformation. The mean domain size can easily be measured in a modelled crystal. Moreover, the mean domain size in real alloys represents the essential feature of the microstructure an may be responsible for various properties of alloys such as diffusion behaviors and magnetic performances. The determination of the relationship between the order parameter and the mean domain size is thus of general interest.
