Abstract

The magnetic properties of the phosphide Fe2P are studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and by magnetization measurements in external magnetic fields. The wide dispersion of Curie temperature and saturation moments previously observed is discussed in terms of stoichiometry and crystallographic imperfections. The Curie temperature is definitely fixed at (265 ± 2) K, and the saturation magnetic moment per Fe atom at (1.11 ± 0.02) μB.
