Abstract
A specimen of Fe-Si solid solution is prepared by ball milling of proper amounts of the pure elements (3Fe:Si) for different milling times. X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy have been used to characterize the solid solution. The Mössbauer spectra show four different sites corresponding to Fe atoms in a bcc structure having 0, 1, 2 and 3 Si atoms in the 1st nearest-neighbor (nn) shell. The hyperfine magnetic field decreases by 31 kOe for each Si atom in the 1st nn shell. A magnetic component with hyperfine field around (180 kOe) characterized by a broadened sextet was observed which could be due to iron sites having more than 3 Si atoms in the 1st nn. A theoretical model based on the binomial distribution was adopted to analyze the data. Good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical hyperfine field distribution in the high hyperfine field region was found, and the silicon content in the disordered A2 phase is deduced from the parameters which give the best agreement.
