摘要
epsilon-Fe3N has been investigated by time-of-flight neutron diffraction (temperature range 4.2-618 K) and SQUID magnetometry (2-700 K, B less than or equal to 5 T). A ferromagnetic spin structure is observed with magnetic moments oriented perpendicular to the c-axis of the hexagonal nuclear structure. The magnetic saturation moment of iron is 2.2 mu(B) at 4.2 K from neutron diffraction and 2.0 mu(B) from magnetic measurements and decreases in a Brillouin-like manner on heating to T-C = 575 K. Above 450 K an increasing but reversible disorder of the nitrogen partial structure is observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
