Measured 57Fe-isomer shifts for face-centered cubic FeyNi1−y alloys show a linear variation with ∂1S/∂y = +0.10 mm s−1 up to [Formula: see text] followed by a plateau at [Formula: see text], up to the structural stability limit at [Formula: see text]. This is in disagreement with recent ab initio calculations, however, the increase at [Formula: see text] is in quantitative agreement with an older modified tight-binding approach in which the increase arises from an atomic volume dependence. The plateau is an anomaly that sets in at the same composition as that at which the saturation moments start to deviate from the Slater–Pauling curve.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
