Scaling behaviour of pair correlation functions for randomly faulted hexagonal close-packed structures.
Monte Carlo simulations and analytical results are used to demonstrate that the hexagonal close-packed (h.c.p.) pair correlation functions for different values of randomly distributed growth and deformation faults can be collapsed into master curves when plotted against a spatial variable, scaled with respect to a characteristic length (L). The functional dependences of L on different types of faults are found to be non-universal. A simple method for the determination of L from the measured intensity distributions is also outlined.
