Synthesis of γ’-Fe4N powder in liquid nitrogen

A novel synthesis approach is developed to prepare nanocrystalline γ’-Fe4N in this paper. High energy cryomilling approach in liquid nitrogen is used to prepare the sample. A FexN amorphous state with a degree of metastable supersaturation of N into Fe is obtained. The crystalline size after higher...
