Abstract
Fe and Ag, mutually insoluble in both the liquid state and the solid state, are two elements with no previously known alloys and compounds. Using a vapor-quench technique, we have fabricated, for the first time, noncrystalline, concentrated Fe-Ag alloys. The first measurements of the magnetic properties and hyperfine interactions of Fe-Ag in the solid state are reported. The successful fabrication of these alloys suggests that the vapor-quench method can be used to form other previously inaccessible alloys based on mutually insoluble components.
