Abstract:
Mössbauer X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies revealed that segregation and ordering occurred in the metal particles of the Antarctic L6 chondrite ALHA 76009. The ordered crystal structure of AuCu type (tetrataenite) was detected coexisting with the disordered 50-50 taenite.
