angle 2␪ using the wavelength ␭ ⫽ 0.1540562 nm of Cu K␣1. The difference between the lattice constant calculated from the (111) peak and that from the (200) peak was only 0.00001 nm. The calibration of diffraction angle ␪ was performed by Si (220) and Si (111) peak angles 2␪ of Cu K␣1, which are 47.267 ⫾ 0.003 deg and 28.394 ⫾ 0.003 deg, respectively. So, the deviation from the standard lattice parameter at 2␪ ⫽ 42 to 43 deg is ⫾ 0.00003 nm. Carbon contents in the mechanically alloyed powders were chemically analyzed by the decomposition in the oxygen-infrared absorption measurement after washing well in ethanol. Figure 1 shows X-ray diffraction patterns of mechanically alloyed Cu-29.7 at. pct Zn ⫹ 20 at. pct C mixture powders. There are Cu-Zn(111), Cu-Zn(200), and graphite(0002) diffraction peaks in Figure 1. The graphite peak decreases with milling time, and Cu-Zn peaks shift to the VOLUME 32A, JULY 2001—1861

lower angle side with increased milling time. The peak shifts correspond to the increase in the lattice parameter of the Cu-Zn alloy. Figure 2 shows the changes in Cu-Zn alloy lattice parameters as a function of milling time. In all mixture powders, the lattice parameters increase and reach saturation values. Figure 3 indicates the relation between the lattice parameter and carbon content in solid solu
