Abstract
Magnetic properties of iron sulfides in a metastable phase state were investigated. During heating of iron sulfides of the composition Fe0.901S up to ∿150°C a magnetization increase was observed. It was shown that the observed effect is not the known γ transition and that it results from the redistribution of vacancies of iron ions in basal planes of the crystal structure of the NiAs type. A theoretical model was proposed which explains qualitatively this effect.
