Chemical ordering is a common phenomenon and highly correlated with the properties of solid materials.By means of the redistribution of atoms and chemical bonds,it invokes an effective lattice adjustment and tailors corresponding physical properties.To date,however,directly probing the 3D interfacial interactions of chemical ordering remains a big challenge.In this work,we deciphered the interlaced distribution of nanosized domains with chemical order/disorder in Fe3Pt bulk alloy.HAADF-STEM images evidence the existence of such nanodomains.The reverse Monte Carlo method with the X-ray pair distribution function data reveal the 3D distribution of local structures and the tensile effect in the disordered domains at the single-atomic level.The chemical bonding around the domain boundary changes the bonding feature in the disordered side and reduces the local magnetic moment of Fe atoms.This results in a suppressed negative thermal expansion and extended temperature range in Fe3Pt bulk alloy with nanodomains.Our study demonstrates a local revelation for the chemical order/disorder nanodomains in bulk alloy.The understanding gained from atomic short-range interactions within the domain boundaries provides useful insights with regard to designing new functional compounds.
