We have studied the effect of the silicon concentration on the structural and hyperfine properties of nanostructured Fe[Formula: see text]Six powders ([Formula: see text], 20, 25 and 30[Formula: see text]at.%) prepared by mechanical alloying. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that after 72[Formula: see text]h of milling, the solid solution bcc-[Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) is formed. The grain sizes, [Formula: see text]D[Formula: see text] (nm), decreases with increasing Si concentration and reaches a minimum value of 11[Formula: see text]nm. We have found that the lattice parameter decreases with increasing Si concentration. The changes in values are attributed to the substitutional dissolution of Si in Fe matrix. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we have shown that the mean hyperfine magnetic field, [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T), decreases with increasing Si concentration. The substitutional dependence of [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T) can be attributed to the effect of p electrons Si influencing electrons d of Fe.

Ternary alloys, (Fe50−x/2Co50−x/2)Snx(x ≤ 33 at.%), are prepared by mechanical alloying from powder mixtures of the three elements. As-milled alloys are studied by X-ray diffraction and 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solubility of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo is increased from ~0.5 at. % at equilibrium to ~20 at.% in the used milling conditions. The average 119Sn hyperfine magnetic field at room temperature is larger, for any x, than the corresponding fields in mechanically alloyed Fe-Sn solid solutions.

Nanocrystalline Ni75Fe25 (Ni3Fe) powders were prepared by mechanical alloying process using a vario-planetary high-energy ball mill. The intermetallic Ni3Fe formation and different physical properties were investigated, as a function of milling time, t, (in the range 6 to 96 h range), using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer Spectroscopy techniques. X-ray diffraction were performed on the samples to understand the structural characteristics and get information about elements and phases present in the powder after different time of milling. The refinement of XRD spectra revealed the complete formation of fcc Ni (Fe) disordered solid solution after 24 h of milling time, the Fe and Ni elemental distributions are closely correlated. With increasing the milling time, the lattice parameter increases and the grains size decreases. The Mössbauer experiments were performed on the powders in order to follow the formation of Ni3Fe compound as a function of milling time. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we extracted the hyperfine parameters. The evolution of hyperfine magnetic field shows that the magnetic disordered Ni3Fe phase starts to form from 6 h of milling time and grow in intensity with milling time. For the milling time more than 24 h, only the Ni3Fe disordered phase is present with a mean hyperfine magnetic field of about 29.5 T. The interpretation of the Mossbauer spectra confirmed the results obtained by XRD.

Phase and structural behaviour in the SmAlO3–TbAlO3system has been studied in a whole concentration range by means of laboratory X-ray diffraction,in situhigh temperature synchrotron powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Formation of the continuous solid solution Sm1−xTbxAlO3with the orthorhombic perovskite structure (space groupPbnm) has been established. Peculiarity of the investigated system is lattice parameter crossovers resulted in the existence of three regions with different relations of the lattice parameters. Based on the results obtained, as well as an available literature data for the “pure” SmAlO3and TbAlO3, a phase diagram of the pseudo-binary SmAlO3–TbAlO3system has been constructed.

Glass-coated Cu-Mn-Ga microwires were fabricated by Taylor-Ulitovsky technique. By means of energy dispersive spectroscopy microanalysis, an average alloy composition of Cu56Ga28Mn16 was determined. The temperature dependence of magnetization measured at a low magnetic field showed the coexistence of two ferromagnetic phases. The Curie temperature of one phase is 125 K and above room temperature for the other one. X-ray diffraction at room temperature and at 100 K reflects the presence of the same three crystalline phases corresponding to the cubic B2 Cu-Mn-Ga structure as a main phase and the minor phases of fcc Cu rich solid solution with Mn and Ga and the monoclinic CuO.

SummaryTwo clay samples originating in the kaolinized granite area near St. Austell, Cornwall, have been examined by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The iron-containing impurity in the sample with a red discoloration (sample A) has, by measurement of the hyperfine magnetic field, been identified as hematite. In the case of sample B, which was yellow in colour, preliminary Mössbauer work indicated β-FeOOH as the impurity, but detailed measurements of hyperfine field and Nöel temperature, when compared with similar results for a synthetic β-FeOOH sample, suggested otherwise. X-ray and chemical work suggested that the iron-containing phase in sample B is goethite, α-FeOOH in which some substitution of Al+3 for Fe3+ has occurred; the Mössbauer data are consistent with this conclusion. Both clay samples exhibited superparamagnetic behaviour and this has been utilized to obtain rough estimates of the mean radius of the particles of the iron-containing impurity. These were 117 Å for the α-Fe2O3 in sample A and 270 Å for aluminian α-FeOOH in sample B.

Co0.76Cu0.74[Fe(CN)6]·7.5H2O was prepared as a powder by a chemical co-precipitation method. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns were indexed to the typical face-centred cubic structure with the lattice parameter a 10.55(2) Å. The temperature dependence of the χ−1 curve obeys the Curie–Weiss law (χ = C/(T – θ)) in the temperature range of 180–300 K. According to Curie–Weiss law, the calculated θ value is −54.82 K. In the paramagnetic state at 300 K, the effective magnetic moment (μeff = (8χT)1/2) is 3.58 μB per formula unit. The calculated theoretical effective magnetic moment is 4.06 μB. The magnetic field cooling measurements under a 200 Oe applied magnetic field show that the saturation magnetization value at 2 K of the complex Co0.76Cu0.74[Fe(CN)6]·7.5H2O is 1.528 emu g−1.

The nanocrystalline Cu-5wt.%Cr alloy powders were prepared by mechanical alloying. The structural changes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. A thermodynamic analysis was carried out to predict the change in the solubility limit of this system. It was found that the energy resulting from the MA process is sufficient to increase the solid solubility of immiscible Cr-Cu system. The solid solubility may be extended up to 5 wt.% Cr in Cu after 20 h milling. The formation of the supersaturated solid solution leads to the decrease of Cu lattice parameter. However, it decomposes with the further increase of the milling time, which leads to the increase of Cu lattice parameter.

Nanocrystalline Fe90Mg10 alloy samples were prepared by mechanical alloying process using planetary high energy ball mill. The prepared powders were characterized using differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) at high temperature, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Obtained results are discussed according to milling time. XRD at high temperature results also indicated that when the milling time increases, the lattice parameter and the mean level of grain size increase, whereas the microstrains decrease. The result of the observation by the TEM of the Fe-Mg powders prepared in different milling time, coercive fields derived and Saturation magnetization derived from the hysteresis curves in high temperature are discussed as a function of milling time.

Nonequilibrium titanium-nitride alloy powders have been fabricated by a high energetic ball mill under nitrogen gas flow at room temperature and characterized by means of x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Initial hcp titanium is completely transformed to nonequilibrium-fcc Ti–N after 720 ks of the milling time. The fcc Ti–N phase is stable at relatively low temperature and transforms at 855 K to Ti2N and δ phases. At the final stage of milling, the particle- and grain-sizes of alloy powders are 1 mm and 5 nm, respectively, and the lattice parameter is 0.419 nm.

The Hipernik alloy (50Ni50Fe wt. %) was obtained by mechanical alloying. The milling was performed in argon atmosphere, with a ball/powder mass ration of 8:1 for times ranging from 2 up to 20h. The alloy formation was studied by X-ray diffraction. The obtained structure is face cantered cubic, indicating the extension of the γ domain for the Ni-Fe alloys by mechanical alloying. The mean crystallite size was calculated with the Williamson – Hall method. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphology and the chemical homogeneity of the powders was analysed. The technological properties of the powders as particle size distribution and flowability are determined as a function of the milling time. The magnetic behaviour of the samples was studied by magnetic measurements under high magnetic fields.
