Abstract

In order to modify the lattice structure and magnetic properties, we irradiate Fe-50at.%Rh alloys with 8 MeV electrons at room temperature. Effects of irradiation are investigated by using Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) and X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD).

Although the crystal structure is not changed by the irradiation and remains the B2 structure, the lattice parameter increases by about 0.1–0.3 % and the antiferromagnetic(AF)-ferromagnetic(FM) transition temperature decreases by 3–18 deg. with increasing the electron fluence. The present result shows that energetic electron irradiation can be used for the precise control of AF-FM transition temperature of Fe-50at.%Rh alloy.
