Abstract
Diffuse-neutron-scattering and resistivity measurements have been performed on alloys (). A change of sign of the short-range-order parameters near indicates that the alloys exhibit short-range clustering at and a tendency to form an ordered compound at . Concurrently, the slope of the resistivity versus temperature changes its sign. This inversion of short-range ordering has been predicted by a recent calculation. These experiments are considered to be an important confirmation of the theory.
