Abstract

Mössbauer spectra of Fe1−x Ni x withx=0.40, 0.35 and 0.32 were taken at various temperatures and fitted withB hf distributions. TheP(B hf) curves generally show a peak and a low-field tail. The peakB * and the average\(\bar B\) were obtained in theT→0 limit. Fe moments were deduced from these data with help of a semiempirical equation. While the average\(\bar \mu _{Fe} \) decreases withx (invar anomaly), a large fraction of Fe atoms retain the strong moment (≈ 2.7 μB) typical of Ni-rich alloys. This result is consistent with a two-states model for invar.
