P/T dependence of magnetic properties in Fe₆₅Ni₃₅ Invar — •Kirsten Rupprecht¹, Hubertus Giefers¹, Gerhard Wortmann¹, Olaf Leupold², and Uwe van Bürck³ — ¹Fachbereich Physik, Universität Paderborn, D-33095 Paderborn, Germany — ²ESRF, BP 220, F-38043 Grenoble, France — ³Physik-Department E13, Technical University München, D-85747 Garching, Germany

Fe₆₅Ni₃₅ is an archetype for an Invar alloy with a very low thermal expansion up to the Curie temperature T_C around 520 K [1]. Here we investigated Fe₆₅Ni₃₅ by ⁵⁷Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) as well as by nuclear forward scattering (NFS) of synchrotron radiation [2] at pressures up to 17 GPa and at temperatures up to 600 K. The NFS studies were performed simultaneously with nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) studies, which provided the local phonon-DOS at Fe [3]. ⁵⁷Fe-NFS spectra, recorded at 300 K and pressures up to 17 GPa, indicated the reduction of T_C from about 520 K to about 300 K at a pressure of 5.3 GPa. Mössbauer spectra measured at various pressures up to 12.5 GPa from 4.2 K to 300 K provided information about the lowering of the magnetic ordering temperatures and of the reduction of the Fe magnetic hyperfine fields; similar to the results from a previous MS study up to 7 GPa [4].
