Synthesis and Magnetic Microstructure of Ternary Ordered Fe–Al–M (M = Ga, B, Sn, V, Mn) Alloys

Abstract

The synthesis and the structural and magnetic characteristics of ternary nonstoichiometric Fe65 – xAl35 – yMx, y (My = Ga, B, Sn; Mx = V, Mn; x = 3, 5, 10 at %) compounds are experimentally and theoretically studied. Quantum-mechanical calculations of the energy of formation and an electronic structure explain the characteristic features of the phase transformations that occur during the synthesis and describe the experimentally observed changes in the magnetic parameters for various impurity elements.
