Abstract

Room temperature measurements of57Fe Mössbauer spectra as well as positron lifetime spectra and angular distributions of photons coming from the two-photon annihilation of a positron-electron pair were performed for Fe and Fe−V alloys containing 1–15 at.% of vanadium. The data were analyzed in terms of a rearrangement of s-like electrons due to alloying of Fe with V. The analysis showed that for most studied samples, the mean density of 4s-like electrons is practically the same, whereas the density of these electrons at Fe atoms in the specimens is higher than in pure Fe. The result is discussed in terms of transfer of charge and of intra-atomic s-d conversion.
