Abstract

The large number of constituent elements and high symmetry of the ordered Fe–Co−V alloys make a complete solution of its structure impossible from a single diffraction experiment. We have carried out a Rietveld refinement of the site occupancies for a partially ordered Fe–Co–V alloy using both neutron and anomalous dispersion x-ray powder diffraction data in order to obtain a complete crystallographic solution to its structure. Contrary to previous assumptions that V occupies both sites randomly or magnetic and Mössbauer studies that suggest that V has a site preference for the Fe sublattice, we find that the V dopant preferentially occupies the Co sites.
