M. Vondracek et al., STRUCTURE SENSITIVITY OF MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES OF FE-AL INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS, Sensors and actuators. A, Physical, 59(1-3), 1997, pp. 269-271
We have investigated the structure dependence of the electrical and ma
gnetic properties of Fe-Al compounds with 28 at.% Al. Local structure
changes and hyperfine field parameters have been studied using Mossbau
er spectroscopy. The magnetic properties and magnetoresistance exhibit
strong dependence on the degree of plastic deformation. Additional al
loying, e.g. by chromium, also changes the properties investigated. Th
e results show that electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties ca
n be changed by controlled heat and mechanical treatment. (C) 1997 Els
