Notes:
The usual method of X-ray diffraction for determining the ordering parameter cannot be applied to α-brass. This problem has been solved by considering the Debye characteristic temperature, rather than the intensity of a diffraction line, as a measure of the parameter. By using the expression obtained in part I of this series of papers [Mitra & Chaudhuri (1974). Acta Cryst. A30, 385-387], the Debye characteristic temperatures of α-brass at different values of the ordering parameter have been calculated. From the X-ray diffraction data of α-brass after different heat treatments the Debye characteristic temperatures were determined. The ordering parameters were obtained by comparing the experimental values of the Debye characteristic temperatures with the theoretical values.
