Die magnetische Suszeptibilität flüssiger Übergangsmetallegierungen

Investigations on the magnetic susceptibility of alloys of the transition metals Fe, Co and Ni with the normal metals Au, (Cu), Zn, Ga and Ge were performed in the liquid state over the whole concentration range. These alloys show complicated phase diagrams, so that in the solid state a systematic investigation over the whole concentration range is not possible. The results are discussed with the existing models for the transition metal rich side and for impurities of transition metal in normal metals. A connection between the susceptibility and the density of states has been found, which allows to explain the behaviour of the susceptibility over the whole concentration range. The measurements of the susceptibility give some information about shape and position of the density of states on alloying.     

Unified first-principles study of gilbert damping, spin-flip diffusion, and resistivity in transition metal alloys

Using a formulation of first-principles scattering theory that includes disorder and spin-orbit coupling on an equal footing, we calculate the resistivity ρ, spin-flip diffusion length l(sf), and Gilbert damping parameter α for Ni(1-x)Fe(x) substitutional alloys as a function of x. For the technologically important Ni(80)Fe(20) alloy, Permalloy, we calculate values of ρ = 3.5 ± 0.15 μΩ cm, l(sf) = 5.5 ± 0.3 nm, and α = 0.0046 ± 0.0001 compared to experimental low-temperature values in the range 4.2-4.8 μΩ cm for ρ, 5.0-6.0 nm for l(sf), and 0.004-0.013 for α, indicating that the theoretical formalism captures the most important contributions to these parameters.     

Quadrupole splitting on57Fe nuclei and local structure of the amorphous alloys Ni−Zr,Ni−Ta

Quadrupole splittings on⁵⁷Fe nuclei were studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy in amorphous and crystalline Ni-based alloys with 37 at .% Zr and 25–50 at .% Ta with 0.5 at .%⁵⁷Fe addition. Quadrupole splitting distributions and then the topological short range in Ni?Ta alloys were found to be similar to that of the Ni₃Ta intermetallic compound. The distribution of splittigs for Ni?Zr alloy is similar to that of its crystalline counterpart.     

One-dimensional migration of interstitial clusters in SUS316L and its model alloys under electron irradiation

The one-dimensional (1D) migration of interstitial clusters in austenitic stainless steel SUS316L and its model alloys, namely, Fe–18Cr–13Ni, Fe–18Cr–13Ni–0.012C, and Fe–18Cr–13Ni–1.7Mn (mass %), was examined using in situ observation by high-voltage electron microscopy. Such 1D migration was confirmed to occur along the ?110? direction at irregular intervals in all these alloys under 1250-kV electron irradiation at room temperature. The frequency of 1D migration was found proportional to electron beam intensity, and was about 1/10 that in high-purity iron under the same irradiation intensity. The distance of 1D migration in the four alloys was less than 10?nm, which was much shorter than that in high-purity iron. No clear difference in the frequency or distance of 1D migration was observed among the four alloys, suggesting that minor solute/impurity elements have no apparent effect on 1D migration in SUS316L.     

Short-range ordering and crystallization of long-term melted Fe83P17 amorphous alloys

Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry and DSC measurements were used to study the as-quenched state and the crystallization of Fe₈₃P₁₇ amorphous alloys quenched at several different cooling rates. The melt temperatures investigated were 1100 and 1250 °C. We have found changes in the hyperfine field distribution curves as a function of the quenching rate. These changes can be attributed to relaxation effects which are more considerable than those observed in Ni(Fe)P alloys. On the other hand, we have found differences in the phase composition of the partially crystallized alloys kept at different melt temperatures (but quenched at the same rate) at the same stage of crystallization. These can be associated with the similar effect of long-term melting as found earlier in Ni(Fe)P and FeB alloys. This effect can also be expected theoretically in the investigated temperature range.     

Difference approach to the analysis of resistivity recovery data for irradiated short-range ordered alloys

Electrical resistivity recovery (RR) data for irradiated concentrated alloys typically consist of two inseparable parts, one resulting from defect annihilation and the other from short-range order (SRO) effects. These parts exhibit different behaviour and often follow opposite trends. Therefore, in this case, analysis of RR data within the conventional method is too complicated. A new approach to data analysis of such a two-component RR is proposed. The approach involves a new quantity, the difference RR (DRR), which is composed of RR dependences of two similar samples irradiated to different defect concentrations. It is shown that the SRO formation proper and the stages corresponding to the onset of long-range migration of Frenkel pair defects, formed in each part of RR, can be clearly related to certain features of the DRR plots. This interrelationship allows detecting and identifying these stages in each part of RR separately. The validity of the approach is illustrated by analysis of the available pairwise RR data for Fe–16Cr–20Ni and Fe–4Cr alloys. It makes it possible to detect the small contribution from the SRO formation to RR in Fe–4Cr, which we failed to observe previously. It is shown that stage III of Fe–4Cr, which has a negligible contribution to the part of RR induced by defect annihilation, is clearly observed in the part induced by SRO formation.     

Mössbauer study of the invar Fe–Ni and Fe–Ni–C alloys in magnetic field

F.C.C. Fe–30.3%Ni and Fe–30.5%Ni–1.5%C (wt.%) alloys were studied by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy in external magnetic field B _ext?=?2.5, 5, 7 T parallel to the gamma-beam. It is shown that distribution of effective magnetic field in the alloys is broad and that carbon expands the range of B _eff. The external magnetic field increases B _eff in the Fe–Ni alloy and decreases it more evidently in the Fe–Ni–C alloy. Antiferromagnetic spin coupling along the ferromagnetic component is proposed to explain data.

Electron spectroscopic studies of the oxidation of Fe/Ni alloys

The oxidation of polycrystalline samples of Fe/Ni alloys at 500° C has been studied by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and soft X-ray appearance potential spectroscopy (APS). Whereas the clean surfaces are always enriched with nickel, oxidation of samples with less than about 70% Ni causes a complete segregation of iron oxide (Fe₃O₄). Alloys containing more than 70% Ni are covered after oxidation with a mixed oxide layer which is identified (in accordance with general experience) with a spinel structure. In the latter case the “chemical shift” of the binding energies of the Ni 2p-electrons decreases from 1.5 to 0.7 eV with decreasing Ni content whereas the corresponding quantities of Fe remain essentially constant over the whole range of concentrations.     

Ball milling of Fe40Ni40P20-xSix (x = 6, 10 and 14): production and characterization

Progress in the ball milling amorphization of elemental powders with the overall composition Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P_{20 ? x}Si_x (X = 6, 10 and 14) and thermally induced crystallization of obtained alloys were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS). Diffusion of Si into Fe and Ni alloys promotes the formation of the amorphous phase, via previous formation of (Fe, Ni) phosphides. After milling for 32–64 h, most of the powders are amorphous but bcc Fe(Si) crystallites remain (about 5% in volume). TMS results indicate that homogenization of the amorphous phase occurs by interdiffusion of Ni and Fe in Fe(Si,P)-rich and Ni(Si,P)-rich zones respectively. Annealing induces structural relaxation of stresses induced by milling, growth of bcc Fe(Si) crystallites, precipitation of bcc Fe(Si) and fcc Ni–Fe, and minor phases of Ni-rich silicides and (Fe, Ni) phosphides. The main ferromagnetic phase is bcc Fe(Si) for Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₀Si₁₀ powders obtained after milling for 32 h. However, it is fcc Fe–Ni for the same alloy after milling for 64 h. In the later powders, as well as for alloys with x = 6 and 14 milled for 32 h, the fcc Fe–Ni shows the Invar magnetic collapse.     

Preparation and magnetic properties of ultrafine particles of FeNi alloys

Ultrafine particles (UFP) of six kinds of FeNi alloys were synthesized by the method of hydrogen plasma reaction. The prepared UFP samples were examined by X-ray diffraction, electron transmission microscopy and magnetic measurement. The spherical FeNi UFP alloys with a mean particle size less than 35 nm can be prepared with a production rate much higher than by conventional methods. The phase constitution of UFP alloys is different from the equilibrium phase diagram owing to rapid condensation of evaporated metal gases. Although the magnetization for the UFP alloys has almost the same temperature dependence as that of the bulk alloys, the saturation magnetization remarkably decreases as the bulk alloys change into the UFP alloys.     

Mössbauer study of magnetic anisotropy in electrochemically deposited Fe−Ni−P amorphous alloys

In a previous work [1], a large magnetic anisotropy was found as a preliminary result of the formation of electrochemically deposited Fe₉₃P₇ alloy. Mössbauer spectroscopy was used in order to get information about the magnetic anisotropy of electrochemically prepared Fe?P and Fe?Ni?P amorphous alloys. The Mössbauer spectra and the hyperfine field distributions of the samples show that Fe?Ni?P and Fe?P electrodeposited amorphous materials can be prepared in a reproducible way from a point of view of short range ordering which is strongly dependent on the chemical composition determined by preparation conditions. The average magnetization directions in the samples were determined from the transmission spectra measured in a normal and two tilted geometries by two types of evaluation methods [2,3]. We have found that the small spread model of the domain structure better describes the experimental results. The obtained data reflect the prevailing anomalous magnetization orientation in these electrodeposited amorphous alloys.     

Application of the Mössbauer effect to the study of meteorites—A review

Mössbauer and X-ray diffraction studies revealed that segregation and ordering of Fe?Ni alloys occurs in meteorites in close resemblance with irradiation effects in these alloys. In Santa Catharina (35% Ni) and Twin City (30% Ni) ataxites, the ordering mechanism leads to the formation of rather large amounts of the 50–50 Fe?Ni ordered phase with tetragonal symmetry (tetrataenite). Furthermore this ordered phase has also been detected in metal particles of chondrites.     

Transformation-rate maxima during lath martensite formation: plastic vs. elastic shape strain accommodation

Recently, a modulated formation behaviour of lath martensite in Fe–Ni(-based) alloys was observed, exhibiting a series of transformation-rate maxima. This peculiar transformation behaviour was explained on the basis of the hierarchical microstructure of lath martensite, minimising the net shape strain associated with martensite formation, by a block-by-block formation of martensite packages occurring simultaneously in all packages. In the present work, the martensitic transformation upon slow cooling of two Fe–Ni alloys, containing 22 and 25 at.% of Ni, respectively, was investigated by high-resolution dilatometry with the aim of identifying the influence of alloy composition on the modulated transformation behaviour. The differences observed for the two alloys, a more rapid sequence of the transformation-rate maxima and a narrower temperature range in case of Fe-25 at.% Ni, can be explained consistently as a consequence of the lower transformation temperatures in Fe-25 at.% Ni, highlighting the role of temporary accommodation of the shape strain during formation of the lath martensite microstructure: the depression of the transformation toward lower temperatures leads to a higher strength of the austenite, hence resulting in a more elastic (less plastic) temporary accommodation of the shape strain upon block formation and thereby in a more effective mutual compensation of the shape strain by neighbouring blocks. A kinetic model on the basis of energy-change considerations is presented which is able to describe the observed modulated transformation behaviour.     

Influence of nickel on 475°C embrittlement of Fe−Cr−Ni alloys: Mössbauer effect study

The phenomenon of “475°C embrittlement” of Fe?Cr?Ni alloys with Fe/Cr ratios of 2.7 and 1.05, containing 0.2 and 4 at.% Ni, has been investigated using the Mössbauer effect and hardness measurements. The results show that the addition of nickel to Fe-xCr alloys (x=25 and 45 at.%) increases the transformation rate notoriously in the first hours of aging, the effect of this element being more important for alloys with Fe/Cr=1.05.     

Mn/Cr掺杂对Ni-Fe-Ga合金相变和磁性转变的影响

Mössbauer and XRD study of novel quaternary Sn-Fe-Co-Ni electroplated alloy

Constant current electrochemical deposition technique was used to obtain quaternary alloys of Sn-Fe-Co-Ni from a gluconate electrolyte, which to date have not been reported in the literature. For the characterization of electroplated alloys, ⁵⁷Fe and ¹¹⁹Sn Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS), XRD and SEM/EDAX were used. XRD revealed the amorphous character of the novel Sn-Fe-Co-Ni electrodeposited alloys. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectrum of quaternary deposit with composition of 37.0 at% Sn, 38.8 at% Fe, 16.8 at% Co and 7.4 at% Ni displayed a magnetically split sextet (B = 28.9T) with broad lines typical of iron bearing ferromagnetic amorphous alloys. Magnetically split ¹¹⁹Sn spectra reflecting a transferred hyperfine field (B = 2.3T) were also observed. New quaternary Sn-Fe-Co-Ni alloys were successfully prepared.     

Effect of Fe substitution on the phase stability and magnetic properties of Mn-rich Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

The influence of Fe additions on the martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of Mn-rich Ni-Mn-Ga alloys was investigated by substituting either 1 at% Fe for each atomic species or by substituting Ni with varying amounts of Fe. The magnetic structure of the alloys was studied using ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mössbauer spectra revealed typical paramagnetic features in Mn-rich Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe alloys owing to the preferential site occupancy of Fe atoms at Ni sites. The evolution of the magnetic properties and phase stability has been correlated with the chemical and atomic ordering in these alloys.     

X-ray photoelectron studies of changes in the electronic structure upon phase transitions in Co–Ni and Co–Fe alloys

The changes in the electronic structure of Co–Ni and Co–Fe systems upon phase transitions are studied. X-ray photoelectron study of the valence-band spectra and the parameters of the multiplet splitting of Co, Ni and Fe 3s spectra is carried out at different temperatures. It is established that the ordering–separation phase transition in Co–Ni alloys takes place in the temperature range of 600–700°C. As opposed to Co–Ni alloys, in the Fe–Co alloy, ordering–separation–ordering phase transitions are observed. High-temperature ordering of the Fe₅₀Co₅₀ alloy is observed above 1200°C. The transition from ordering to separation is shown to lead to changes in the d electron spectra of the valence band and in the parameters of the multiplet splitting of the 3s spectra.
