Magnetic Instabilities inFe3CCementite Particles Observed with FeK-Edge X-Ray Circular Dichroism under Pressure

Abstract: The ferromagnetic interstitial iron compound Fe(3)C (cementite) is expected to have Invar properties, whereby a high-moment to low-moment transition should occur when the atomic volume is reduced below a critical value. We, therefore, examine the pressure dependence of the Fe K-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in Fe(3)C at ambient temperature and pressures up to 20 GPa. We find clear evidence for a high-moment to low-moment transition around 10 GPa.

“…At high pressure we observe a tendency to collapse, in a similar way to that reported for cementite ͑Fe 3 C͒. 21 It is important to determine whether this XMCD collapse is due to the expected transition from a LS state to a nonmagnetic one or due to a concomitant decrease in Curie temperature. Assuming that the M͑T͒ dependence of Fig.…”

“…3,16 Therefore, this effective temperature invariant thermal expansion can be exploited in a number of technological applications such as precision measurements for standards, large size cryogenic liquid containers, etc. 15,17 Furthermore, the Invar effect is not limited to being a property of only Fe-Ni alloys, but it is also found in many other crystalline three dimensional ͑3D͒ systems such as Fe-Pt, Pd 3 Fe, Fe 3 C, or Fe-Cu, [18][19][20][21][22] amorphous Fe alloys, [23][24][25] as well as intermetallic systems such as R-Fe ͑R = Rare Earth͒. 26,27 Hence, these alloys can be structurally ordered or disordered, ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic.…”

“…27. In the low pressure region below 5 GPa, the curve presents a linear decrease followed by a plateau in the intermediate instance, a HS-LS transition was found at 10 GPa (Duman et al, 2005) by XMCD whereas the magnetic instability manifests itself in the XES spectra at 25 GPa (Lin et al, 2004).…”

“…19 Although they were not fully identified, they were associated with the highly metastable orthorhombic Fe 3 B phase, of similar structure as cementite, which has reported Invar properties. 20,21 Magnetostriction in FeB has been attributed to this phase although with no conclusive proofs. Like in FeGa, the phase diagram of FeB at boron concentrations near the eutectic point is highly metastable showing a transformation from the bcc Fe lattice to an fcc-like structure as boron concentration is increased.…”
