Abstract
Measurements of X-ray diffuse scatterings were made in disordered single crystal of Fe-28.3 at%Pt Invar alloy around a 200-Bragg peak in a wide temperature range between 15 K and 300 K. Observed diffuse scatterings were almost spherical, suggesting a homogeneous disordered alloy. However, the qdependence of the observed thermal diffuse scattering was different from the usual type, indicating a possibility of existence of local distortion of lattice accompanied by a large gradient of stress.
