Abstract
Single crystals of Zr-0.065 at% Fe (95% Fe-57), from a common parent, have been studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy, using both transmission a nd conversion-electron modes. In the ''as grown'' state the Fe is pres ent as the meta-stable phase, t-Zr2Fe. Vacuum annealing, in the range 795-973 K, results in gradual decomposition of t-Zr2Fe and the diffusi on of Fe from the bulk to the surface, where it forms the stable Zr3Fe phase. The kinetics of Zr3Fe formation show fair accord with the know n diffusion properties of Fe in alpha-Zr. Some results for other dilut e Zr(Fe) single crystals are reported.
