Abstract
Characteristic distance measurements of a spinodally decomposed isotropic microstructure obtained from field-ion and transmission electron micrographs, from analysis of atom probe composition profiles and from small angle neutron scattering data are compared. The results are in general agreement although there are significant differences in the manner in which the phase transformation and the aging time affect the measurements with the various instruments.
