Description

It has been shown by X-ray absorption spectroscopy that oxygen is trapped by Zr in dilute NbZr alloys. Oxygen occupies the nearest octahedral sites next to a Zr atom. There is one O atom trapped by each Zr atom. The angular information needed for the exact location of the O is obtained from a ''lens'' effect in the EXAFS which is observed when the O shadows a Nb back-scatterer. At 10750C and below there is no precipitation of zirconium oxides in Nb. (author)
