It is common knowledge that the magnetic structure of fcc Fe
(γ-Fe) can be described by means of an incommensurate spin-density wave
(SDW). Previous experimental data, however, were mostly obtained for
γ-FeCo alloy precipitates in Cu in order to avoid the complexity of the structural phase
transition. Since Fe is a fundamental element, reliable data on the SDW state for pure
γ-Fe are highly desired. We present here neutron scattering data for the SDW in pure
γ-Fe precipitates in Cu and discuss the particle size effect of the SDW.
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.
