Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction have been used to study three series of electrodeposited
alloys: Fe-Ni, Fe-Co and Co-Ni, doped with 57Fe. The crystalline structure of electrodeposited
Fe-Ni and Fe-Co alloys changes at the concentration of the given element dissolved in Fe a little different
from that for thermally prepared alloys. The changes of the average hyperfine magnetic field and the
average isomer shift are determined as a function of the changes in the average number of atoms in the
nearest neighbourhood of 57Fe.
Electrodeposited alloys have an interesting feature i.e. the isomer shift of the alloy changes its sign,
relative to the isomer shift for pure iron. It may be connected with internal stresses in the deposited alloy.
