Abstract

The focus of this investigation is the interface regions in crystalline Fe-nanoparticles as well as amorphous nanograins with an average grain size of about 4 nm. The iron nanograins have been compacted under external pressure; the resulting region of the contact between the grains is called an interface. It was found that the interface was three-dimensional with an atomic order different from that present in the neighboring nanograins. The structure of the interfacial region between adjacent amorphous grains has been found to be similar to those in crystalline Fe-nanograins. In other words, the structure of the interface formed under external pressure is independent of the structure of the adjacent grains. The effect of the structure of the interfaces on the magnetic hyperfine interactions and the magnetic moments is studied. In addition, the atomic structures of the interfaces have been studied by means of synchrotron high energy X-ray diffraction. The results obtained are presented in the form of radial distribution functions suggesting the following atomic structure of interfaces: (1) a short-range order of clusters with distorted bcc cells and (2) a middle-range (mesoscopic) order different from that of the bcc cells.
