Magnetizations of single phase binary iron + nickel alloys have been measured and Bohr magneton numbers
p
estimated for body-centred cubic alloys with 0 to 32.3 at. % of nickel and for face-centred cubic alloys with 31 to 80 %. Initially p increases at the rate 1.1 ±0.1
μ
B
per nickel atom in iron-rich b.c.c. alloys. In the f.c.c. phase
p
increases as the nickel content decreases, and then falls very sharply as the nickel content further decreases below 40 %. In the small range of composition where either phase can be obtained, the magnetization differs widely between the two crystal structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
