Abstract
Mossbauer spectroscopic (MS) measurements at ambient and cryogenic temperatures on powdered Fe-doped NiAl materials (Ni-40Al-9Fe and Ni-50Al-9Fe) exhibited paramagnetic behavior down to 17 K, with one Fe-site in the hosts. At 4.2 K, Ni-40Al-9Fe (Al deficient) remained paramagnetic, while Ni-50Al-9Fe (Ni deficient) displayed a magnetic transition, resolved in terms of one Fe environment. The internal magnetic field of the magnetically split site of Ni-50Al-9Fe was 185 ± 8 kOe determined from a field distribution model. This shows that electronic and magnetic interactions in ordered Fe-doped NiAl depend on Fe site preference tendencies. The single Fe site observed at 4.2 K for the Ni-deficient alloy shows that its Fe distribution or site occupancy is not random but ordered. The interactions leading to the development of internal magnetic field in the Ni-deficient ordered alloy is temperature dependent being absent above 17 K based on MS measurements from ambient to 4.2 K.
