Microstructure and magnetization measurements of the eutectic Fe: FeSb

The microstructural and magnetic properties of the eutectic Fe : Fe^+xSb have been studied. Variations in the microstructure and rod morphology have been investigated as a function of growth conditions. The magnetic properties of the two phases have been studied using McSssbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements over the temperature range from 4 K to room temperature. Electrical resistivity measurements have provided further information on the electronic properties of the two phases in the eutectic.
