The level of mixing, however, is important: with large powder particles the diffraction reveals the composition of the powder with no anomalous decrease in intensity; with small particle powders intermixed by means such as mechanical milling, the diffraction intensity will change in accordance with the materials' linear absorption. The component with the lower x-ray linear absorption coefficient will exhibit much lower diffraction intensities than a rule of mixtures would predict. Good quantitative agreement between experimental intensities for the SiSn system and those predicted by the Klug and Alexander model was observed.}, number={1}, journal={SCRIPTA MATERIALIA}, author={Leonard, RT and Koch, CC}, year={1997}, month={Jan}, pages={41–46} }
