摘要
Two iron-based metastable Fe-Cu alloys, one rich in iron, namely, Fe72Cu28 and the other rich in copper, namely, Cu90Fe10, in powder form are prepared using simultaneous electrodeposition of Fe and Cu from a common bath. Mossbauer spectroscopy and positron annihilation lifetime techniques are used to study the defects in these alloys. The samples present large concentrations of vacancy clusters made of at least 6 monovacancies. These seem to play a crucial role in stabilizing the alloy despite positive heat of formation.
