    Abstract

    The Pt-rich side of the PtV phase diagram is re-examined using electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. An ordered Pt8V structure isomorphous with Pt8Ti is discovered and two long period antiphase boundary structures are found in Pt3V on annealing in the temperature interval between 900 and 1000°C. A formation mechanism for the stable DO22 phase is presented and some structural defects are discussed. Microdomains corresponding to the ordering relations extracted from the diffuse intensity distribution in reciprocal space are revealed using the high resolution technique.
