Amorphous iron–boron powders prepared by chemical reduction of mixed-metal cation solutions: dependence of composition upon reaction temperature
Abstract
By altering reaction temperature from –7 to 30 °C, the boron content in Fe–B amorphous powders can be regulated over a wide range, from 23 to 40 atom%; this results from the difference in the apparent activation energies for the deposition of iron and boron atoms.
