Abstract: | We report about X-ray and magnetic investigations on polycrystalline alloys with hexagonal C14 (MgZn2) structure of the system TixFe100−x in the concentration range 30.5x36.5 around the Laves-phase composition TiFe2 (Ti33.3Fe66.6). Neighboring compositions Fe50Ti50 (with B2 structure) and Ti15Fe85 and Ti20Fe80 (with BCC structure) have also been investigated. From the data we establish a magnetic phase diagram for the C14 range of the system, showing a rather sharp transition from mainly ferromagnetic ordering in the range x<32 to a mainly antiferromagnetic ordering in the range x>32. The results can be made plausible microscopically by taking the site dependence of the moments into account. A revised structural equilibrium phase diagram is also given. |
