The lattice parameters (LPs) of the bcc ([beta]) phase occurring metastably in a series of Zr-rich Zr-Nb alloys have been determined at and above room temperature (T^sub R^) using neutron diffraction techniques. LP values at T = T^sub R^ were determined in alloys with Nb contents in the range 8.4 &l...
