Abstract

The atomic structure of Fe–Al (7 and 9 at % Al) and Fe–Ga (18 at % Ga) alloys is studied by X‑ray diffraction using a laboratory four-circle diffractometer. After refining annealing, single-crystal alloy samples were annealed in the ferromagnetic state (T < TC). One sample of the Fe–18 at % Ga alloy, after short holding in the paramagnetic state (T > TC), was quenched in room temperature water. Earlier, the authors reported on the peculiarities of the ordering of alloying atoms in B2 and D03 phase structures in quenched and annealed samples of these alloys. Here, we present and discuss the results of our observations in these alloys of a new phase with a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice (B1-type structure with NaCl prototype and unit cell parameter ~5.2 nm). The fcc phase appears in the Fe–Al alloy as the aluminum concentration increases from 7 to 9 at %; it is observed in the Fe–18 at % Ga alloy, and its volume fraction increases after annealing in the ferromagnetic state in comparison with a quenched alloy sample. In these alloys (9 at % Al) and (18 at % Ga), different ways of embedding fcc crystals in the bcc phase of single crystals are realized; i.e., the axes of the fcc lattice are directed in four different ways relative to the axes of the bcc lattice.
