Mossbauer measurements using Fe-57 and Gd-155 have been made on sample
s of ball-milled Nd2Fe14B in a gadolinium matrix in order to determine
the magnetisation of each phase separately. Although magnetometer mea
surements did not show any coercivity, both measurements showed the ph
ases were in intimate magnetic contact. The spectra of each phase diff
ered considerably from those of the respective original materials and
provide information on the conduction electron polarisation through th
e transferred hyperfine fields.
