Tvsmm. Babu et C. Bansal, A MOSSBAUER-EFFECT STUDY OF NI3FE1-XSIX ALLOYS FOR LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-X-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-0.09, Journal of Materials Science, 32(6), 1997, pp. 1587-1590
Fe-57 Mossbauer effect studies were carried out on the quasibinary Ni3
Fe1-xSix alloy system for x =, 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 0.9 composi
tions. Single phase alloys are formed upto x = 0.5 whereas a two phase
alloy is observed for x = 0.75 composition. The x = 0.9 composition a
lso shows single phase formation with lattice parameters close to Ni3S
i. Substitution of Si primarily takes place at the Fe sites and the x
= 0.25 composition shows a high degree of L1(2) order. The magnetic hy
perfine field systematics are discussed in terms of first and second n
eighbour configurations.
