Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of a nitrogen atom on the amorphization of V-Fe alloy through solid-gas reaction during mechanical alloying (MA). MA by planetary ball mill of $V_{70}Fe_{30}$ elemental powders was carried out under the nitrogen gas atmosphere. Amorphization has been observed after 160 hours of ball milling in this case. The DSC spectrum for the mechanically alloyed ($V_{70}Fe$_{30}$)_{0.89}N_{0.11}$ powders exhibits a sharp exothermic peak due to crystallization at about $600^{\circ}C$. Structural transformation from the bcc crystalline to amorphous states was also observed through X-ray and neutron diffractions. We take a full advantage of a negligibly small scattering length of the V atom in the neutron diffraction measurement. During amorphization process the octahedral unit, which is typical of a polyhedron formed in any crystal structures, was preferentially destroyed and transformed into the tetrahedral unit. Futhermore, neutron diffraction measurements revealed that a nitrogen atom is selectively situated at a center of the polyhedron formed by V atoms.
