Abstract
Fluorecence XAFS measurements of the Fe K-edge are done for melt-quenched La-rich La-Fe alloys. XAFS results of the as-quenched samples of La92Fe8 and La88Fe12 show characteristic features of disordered structure. The results for La88Fe12 after annealed at 400°C for 30 min. show that Fe are precipitated to α-Fe in β-La. A strange phenomenon of finding the amorphous clusters in the crystalline phase can be attributed to the immiscible nature and large atomic size difference between Fe and La.
