Abstract

We have investigated site selectivity in iron doped β phase ternary alloys of the composition NixFeyAl(100-x-y), where the Ni concentration is within a few at. % of stoichiometry. Experimental techniques used include extended x-ray absorption edge fine structure and Mössbauer measurements. The transition metal atoms in excess of 50 at. %, which occupy sites with transition metal nearest neighbors, are not chosen randomly among Ni and Fe, but are exclusively Fe, to within the accuracy of the measurements. This result requires a re-analysis of previous magnetic susceptibility measurements on this system, which as re-analyzed here imply more reasonable moment values for the Fe dopants. Our findings regarding Fe site selectivity are of significance in regards to recent studies showing a ductilization effect of Fe dopants microalloyed into Ni50Al 50.
