Abstract

The structures of a number of ordered phases in the Au-Mn system derived from the face- centred cubic structure of Au4Mn have been described in a systematic manner by use of shift-lattice distributions of the manganese atoms throughout the matrix of the alloys. The simplest structures are describable in terms of one-dimensional shift lattices, but many are best treated as two- or three-dimensional shift lattices. This approach has allowed structural correlations to be presented that have not been described previously and the variation in stoichiometry of these phases to be accounted for without recourse to defect populations. The diffraction patterns of such structures are also discussed, especially incommensurate patterns from materials with 'infinitely large' crystallographic unit cells.
