Abstract
The reaction of a powder mixture consisting of 50 a.% Fe and 50
a.% S during high energy ball milling has been studied by x-ray
diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy. After around 19 h of
milling FeS2 and FeS havebeen formed. By further milling the FeS
compound becomes dominating and only FeS with an average
crystallite size of about 10 nm was observed after milling times
longer than 67 h. Mossbauer spectra obtained with applied fields
show that the particles are antiferromagnetic or have a strongly
canted spin structure.
