The room temperature Mössbauer spectra of 57 Fe were measured for iron-based solid solutions Fe 1−x Co x and Fe 1−x Ni x with x in the range 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05. The obtained data were analysed in terms of the binding energy E b between two Co or Ni atoms in the studied materials using the extended Hrynkiewicz-Królas idea. It was found that the energy is positive or the non-iron atoms interact repulsively. The extrapolated value of E b for x = 0 was used for computation of the enthalpy of solution of cobalt and nickel in iron. The results were compared with our previous Mössbauer spectroscopy findings, the values resulting from the Miedema's model of alloys and the data derived from the enthalpy of formation of the Fe-Co and Fe-Ni systems, obtained with calorimetric methods. The comparison shows that the present results are in a qualitative agreement with the Miedema's model predictions and calorimetric measurements but they are at variance with the previous Mössbauer spectroscopy findings.
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.
