Abstract

Neutron power diffraction studies are performed with different reactors on YFe10.5Mo1.5Cx (x = 0.3 and 0.6) prepared by arc-melting. The refinements of the neutron diffraction data indicate that the carbides retain the ThMn12-type structure with an increase of unit cell volume and most of carbon atoms occupy the interstitial 2b sites. The effects of carbon introduced by arc-melting are similar to that of interstitial nitrogen introduced by the gas - solid phase reaction, which is of significance in the technical applications due to a better stability of these carbides.
