Аннотация:Hyperfine parameters of iron nuclei such as isomer shift, quadrupole splitting, and asymmetry parameter are calculated for β-FeSi 2 with and without vacancies, using density functional theory. They are applied, in combination with parameters of α-FeSi 2 obtained earlier, for analyzing Mössbauer and X-ray diffraction experiments on the mechanical alloying of silicon with iron in the range of 1–33 at. % of Fe. Such an approach allows more detailed and precise information to be obtained on the structure of Fe–Si samples. In particular, the fraction of vacancies in α- and β-FeSi 2 is estimated, and the mechanism of formation of these phases and their transformation into each other is discussed. A new model is developed for analyzing experiments on hyperfine interaction, such as Mössbauer spectroscopy, time-differential perturbed-angular correlation, and the like, for Fe–Si systems with a high Si content.
