Abstract:The electron momentum density in four amorphous alloys of composition Co70-xNixFe5Si15B10 (x = 0, 10,40 and 55) has been studied in Compton scattering experiments using 412 keV y-radiation. The results indicate that the replacement of cobalt by nickel in these alloys is associated with a transfer of charge density from the 4s to the 3d band, which is consistent with their magnetic behaviour.
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.
