Rz. Valiev et al., SATURATION MAGNETIZATION AND CURIE-TEMPERATURE OF NANOCRYSTALLINE NICKEL, Philosophical magazine. B. Physics of condensed matter. Statistical mechanics, electronic, optical and magnetic, 75(6), 1997, pp. 803-811
Bulk samples of nanocrystalline Ni were produced by severe plastic def
ormation consolidation of ball-milled powders. The processed samples a
re characterized by reduced values of saturation magnetization and Cur
ie temperature. Relying on transmission electron microscopy and X-ray
data, an assumption has been made to explain the origin of the observe
d phenomena.
