Coalescence of the Fermi-surface-related diffuse intensity peaks in disordered alloys

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

The possibility of disappearance of the diffuse-intensity peak splitting induced by the Fermi surface (i.e., of coalescence of the intensity maxima) with decreasing temperature is predicted. The underlying mechanism is the compensation of the reciprocal-space curvatures of the self-energy and the interaction. The theory also describes similar results obtained earlier for two low-dimensional models with competing interactions. The coalescence is compared with the recently observed "thermal" splitting in Pt-V which can be explained in the same way.
