Abstract

We have performed new neutron diffuse scattering measurements in Fe1x_{1-x}Crx_x solid solutions, in a concentration range 0<<x<<0.15, where the atomic distribution shows an inversion of the short range order. By optimizing the signal-background ratio, we obtain an accurate determination of the concentration of inversion x0_0 =0.110(5). We determine the near neighbor atomic short range order parameters and pair potentials, which change sign at x0_0. The experimental results are compared with previous first principle calculations and atomistic simulations.
