Abstract
An atom probe field-ion microscopy investigation of the Twin City and Santa Catharina meteorites has revealed that the matrix of these meteorites has an ultra-fine scale two phase microstructure. The results indicate the presence of precipitates with an interparticle spacing of between 7.5 and 20 nm and amplitude fluctuations from 50 at. % Ni to approximately 15 at. % Ni. This evidence indicates that the matrix of these meteorites is a mixture of L10-ordered FeNi and a low nickel face centered cubic phase.
