Tvsmm. Babu et C. Bansal, A MOSSBAUER-EFFECT INVESTIGATION OF FE HYPERFINE FIELDS AND SOLUBILITY LIMIT OF CR IN FE3-XCRXSI ALLOYS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 180(2), 1993, pp. 479-489
Detailed Mossbauer effect studies on Fe3-xCrxSi alloys show a solubili
ty of Cr up to a composition of x = 0.5 and a precipitation of Cr3Si p
hase beyond this composition. The effect of Cr on the hyperfine fields
at the inequivalent (AC) and (B) sites is understood in terms of a lo
cal environment model with Cr substituting at the B site with a very s
mall moment. Presence of B32 order besides the DO3 order is also indic
ated.
