Abstract

The evolution of the R-phase transformation temperature with iron concentration is studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), magnetic susceptibility and calorimetric measurements in a series of three Ti50Ni50-xFex, samples, with x = 1, 2 and 3. The changes in the Mössbauer spectra, from a single line at room temperature to a quadrupole doublet when the temperature is lowered below 280 K, are related to structural transformations occurring in the system. The temperature changes in the magnetic susceptibility are interpreted in terms of a gap opening characteristic of charge density waves (CDW) formation when the R-phase transformation takes place. The calorimetric measurements show specific heat fluctuations near room temperature in two of the samples (x = 1 and 3) whose peaks shift during the cooling and heating cycles.
