Temperature dependence of the intensity of the characteristic energy losses of 2p electrons of iron in cementite
Shabanova I.N. , Trapeznikov V.A.
A sharp decrease in the intensity of the characteristic losses was observed in an experimental electron-spectroscopy study of the spectra of the 2p3/2 level of iron in cementite at temperatures below and above the Curie point. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in the number of uncompensated 3d electrons of the iron on going from the ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic state.
