Abstrakt: Identically prepared samples of Fe0.85Ni0.15 were annealed either in the ambient magnetic field or in a field of 29 T. Room temperature x-ray powder diffraction measurements that were performed after magnetic annealing showed that the ratio of the volume of the γ to α phase is decreased in the field-annealed sample by a factor of 2. First-principles calculations of the magnetic structure in the presence of a magnetic field are used to compute the resulting change in free energy. Analysis in terms of the phase diagram calculated with and without a magnetic field is in substantial agreement with the measurements. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
