Thermal Expansion and Local Environment Effects in Ferromagnetic Iron-Based Alloys : A Theoretical Study

The Nobel Prize for Physics 1920 was awarded to C.-E. Guillaume for his discovery of properties of nickel steels. He had previously observed that certain iron-nickel alloys exhibit the Invar effect i.e. an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient over a wide range of temperature. The decades sinc...
