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 explanation is presented for the temperature dependence of the fourfold intensity peak splitting found recently in diffuse scattering from the disordered Cu3Au alloy. The wavevector and temperature dependence of the self-energy is…
Diffuse scattering is usually associated with some disorder in the analyzed material. Different kinds of disorder may produce different diffuse scattering -- or not. In this letter, we demonstrate some aspects of the variety of diffuse…
Diffuse intensities in the electron diffraction patterns of concentrated face-centered cubic solid solutions have been widely attributed to chemical short-range order, although this connection has been recently questioned. This article…

The properties of a dissipative system depend on the spectral density of the coupling to the environment. Mostly, the dependence on the low-frequency behavior is in the focus of interest. However, in order to avoid divergencies, it is also…
