Abstract
A Mössbauer spectroscopic study of orthorhombic Fe2P1−x Si x withx ≤ 0.35 was performed. A large spread in magnetic hyperfine fields was found at the six Fe positions ranging from 10–26 T at 4.2 K. Small rearrangements in the crystal positions as compared to the hexagonal phase cause large changes in the magnetic field. Large changes in Fe magnetic moments have also been obtained in a spin-polarized LMTO band calculation performed on orthorhombic Fe2P as compared to a similar calculation of hexagonal Fe2P.
