Abstract
By X-ray diffraction and high pressure Mossbauer spectroscopy, the structure and the hyperfine parameters of Ni substituted γ’-Fe4N were investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction indicate that single phase γ’-(Fe1-xNix)4N compounds can be prepared in the composition range of 0⩽x⩽0.6, and with the increase of Ni content the lattice parameter is fit for the relationshipa 0(x)=3.790 5-0.021 57x-0.031 67x 2. By high pressure Mossbauer spectra, effects of magnetovolume and chemical bonding of Ni atom on hyperfine magnetic field and isomer shift of iron were distinguished for the first time, and their composition dependences for different lattice sites were studied simultaneously. It is found that the magnetovolume and chemical bonding have different influences on the properties of γ’-(Fe1-xNix)4N, and the latter one plays a key role in the property changes of γ’-(Fe1-xNix)4N.
