Popis: Experimental research of “order–order” kinetics in binary intermetallics showing highly stable superstructures revealed that specific features of “order–order” relaxations are attributed to the type of superstructure. Corresponding simulation studies elucidated specific atomistic mechanisms of the processes. It has been shown that two time scales revealed experimentally in “order–order” relaxations in L1 2 and L1 0 -ordered systems follow from an interplay between ordering/disordering and the easy diffusion of antisites within one sublattice. In triple-defect B2-ordered intermetallics, strict correlation between ordering/disordering and vacancy elimination/formation dramatically slows down the process despite very high vacancy concentration.
