Abstract

The hyperfine fields on111Cd probe nuclei in Cr (1 at% Rh), Cr (0.3 at% Rh) and Cr (0.5 at% Re) matrices are measured using time-differential perturbed (γ−γ) angular correlation of 173–247 keV cascade in the decay of111In to the levels in111Cd. The sources prepared by ion implantation of111In (2.81 d) activity followed by appropriate annealing procedure were found to be of good quality. The addition of impurities, located to the right of chromium in the periodic table such as Rh and Re, to the chromium matrix increases the electron to atom ratio, resulting in an increase in the magnetic moment compared to pure chromium. This in turn is expected to result in an increase in the hyperfine fields at probe nuclei in these alloys. The measured hyperfine fields are in qualitative agreement with the expected changes in these alloys.
