Abstract

New data on the phase compositions and structural transformations in a number of Fe81Ga19 alloys doped with trace amount (≤ 0.2 at.%) of rare earth elements are presented. The data are obtained in neutron diffraction experiments performed with high resolution and in continuous temperature scanning mode when heated to 900 °C and subsequent cooling. It has been established that structural rearrangements proceed in a generally identical manner both in the original Fe81Ga19 alloy and in its doped analogues. Slow heating and subsequent cooling of the alloys (rate ±2 °C/min) leads to the formation of clusters of the D03 phase with sizes in the range (200–300) Å in the matrix of the disordered A2 phase. The sizes and volume fraction of clusters (~0.3 of the sample volume) weakly depend on the specific composition. The degree of ordering of the clusters atomic structure changes with temperature according to a second-order phase transition and is close to unity at room temperature. The search for structural ordering corresponding to the modified D03 phase, discovered in a number of electron diffraction studies, did not lead to a positive result.
