Observation of temperature induced low-spin to high-spin transitions in anti-Invar by paramagnetic neutron diffraction experiments — •M. Acet1, E.F. Wassermann1, A.P. Murani2, and K.H.

The anti-Invar effect occuring in fcc Fe and its alloys is expected to be caused by transitions from a small volume low-spin state to a large volume high-spin state with increasing temperature. Fe76.8Ni13.3Mn6.8C3.2 is an anti-Invar material which is fcc down to low temperatures and therefore, provides a broad temperature range to study the anti-Invar effect. Paramagnetic neutron diffraction experiments with polarization analysis were carried out on this sample in the temperature range 4K≤T≤1200 K. Magnetic scattering in the foreward direction, indicating the presence of ferromagnetic correlations, strengthens with increasing temperature, although the ground state of the fcc phase is observed to be a spin glass with mixed ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic correlations. The results give a clear identification of the thermally induced low-spin to high-spin transitions.
Work was supported by DFG within SFB166, Krupp VDM, and ILL Grenoble.
