X-ray determination of the Debye temperatures of some A15-type intermetallic compounds

Abstract From the integrated intensities of Bragg reflections measured at room temperature with an X-ray powder diffractometer, the Debye-Waller factors, amplitudes of vibration and Debye temperatures have been determined for three (V 3 Pt, V 3 Rh and Ti 3 Ir) intermetallic compounds having the A15 structure.
