Determination of Néel Temperatures in fcc Iron

Abstract
The Néel temperatures of 304 stainless steel and γ‐Fe precipitates stabilized in the copper lattice have been determined by making use of the Mössbauer effect. The Néel temperature for the stainless steel is 38°±2°K and for two different sizes of γ‐Fe precipitates, the Néel temperatures are 55°±3°K and 67°±2°K. The measured Néel temperatures are compared with previous determinations by other methods and the variation of the Néel temperature of precipitates in the Cu—Fe system is discussed. Estimates are made of the magnetic field at the iron nucleus for each case.
