V. Kuncser et al., Nanostructure and phase distributions in (Cu0.80Fe0.20)(100-x)B-x melt spun ribbons studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy, J ALLOY COM, 289(1-2), 1999, pp. 270-276
The analysis of the Mossbauer spectra of (Cu0.8Fe0.2)(100-x))B-x the melt s
pun ribbons taken at several temperatures between 4.2 K and room temperatur
e allowed us to identify the occurring Fe-containing phases: alpha-Fe, gamm
a-Fe and <(Cu)under bar>Fe solid solutions. The presence of B inhibits the
phase transformation from fee to bcc Fe. For x = 0 and 1, the amount of Fe
in the <(Cu)under bar>Fe solid solution is close to 3 at.% solubility limit
, while for x=3 besides crystalline Fe3B, a supersaturated phase of 9.7 at.
% Fe in the <(Cu)under bar>Fe solid solution was found, showing a strong de
viation from the binary equilibrium phase diagram. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc
