Hyperfine field distribution in electrodeposited iron-nickel alloys

The distribution of hyperfine fields in f.c.c. electrodeposited iron-nickel alloys with composition ranging from 10 to 27 at% Fe has been studied from the observed Mossbauer spectra using a method of analysis developed by Hesse and Rubartsch. The different I2,5/I1,6 values for the different parts of the same component sample indicate that the distribution of the electrical field in bath plays an important role in the spin preferred orientation within electrodeposited layer. The asymmetry in the width of Mossbauer lines has been discussed.
