Moessbauer Spectroscopy Study of Iron Nickel Alloys

摘要

Three samples of Fe_(100-x)Ni_x (with x = 30, 35 and 40) were prepared by arc melting technique. The Moessbauer spectra of the three samples were collected and analyzed. The spectrum of the sample with x = 30 consists of a singlet and a sextet. The singlet component which has isomer shift (IS = ―0.08 mm/s) is attributed to a superparamagnetic phase. The value of the magnetic hyperfine field associated with the sextet component, 34.0 T, is consistent with that of α-Fe-Ni alloy. In the spectra of the other samples the central line disappears. The magnetic component, used in fitting the spectrum of the sample with x = 40 has a hyperfine magnetic field B_(hf) = 30.0 T. This component is assigned to the high-spin γ-FCC Fe―Ni phase. Two magnetic components of 16.3 T and 27.3 T are used to fit the spectrum of the sample with x = 35. The 27.3 T component is associated with the typical high-spin γ-FCC Fe―Ni phase while the 16.3 T component is associated with a γ-FCC Fe―Ni phase with magnetic relaxation.
