Hyperfine investigations of the magnetic state in ordered Pt3−xFe1+x

Mössbauer effect studies of Pt_3−xFe_1+x fcc ordered alloys in the range 4.2 K <T<300 K, in zero and in external magnetic field, for samples with x = 0.16 to 0.28, are reported. The low-temperature spectra show several satellite lines which are related to different excess-Fe nearest-neighbor configurations. Experiments in external fields give information on the different local spin structure at different concentrations.
