Abstract
α-Fe single crystals of rhombic dodecahedral habit were grown from a Li84N12Feâ¼3 melt. Crystals of several millimeter along a side form at temperatures around Tâ800°C. Upon further cooling the growth competes with the formation of Fe-doped Li3N. The b.c.c. structure and good sample quality of α-Fe single crystals were confirmed by X-ray and electron diffraction as well as magnetization measurements and chemical analysis. A nitrogen concentration of 90â¯ppm was detected by means of carrier gas hot extraction. Scanning electron microscopy did not reveal any sign of iron nitride precipitates.
