Alloys of Fe1-xCx were produced using combinatorial sputtering methods. The composition of the films as a function of position was determined using electron microprobe techniques and the results have shown that a composition range of about 0.35 < x < 0.75 was obtained. X-ray diffraction methods were employed to study the structure of the thin films and showed that all portions of the films were amorphous or nanostructured. Room temperature 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy was utilized to study the atomic environment around the Fe atoms. Hyperfine field distributions of ferromagnetic alloys, as extracted from the Mössbauer analysis, suggested the existence of two classes of Fe sites: (1) classes of Fe sites that have primarily Fe neighbours corresponding to a high-field component in the distribution and (2) classes of Fe sites that have a greater number of C neighbours, corresponding to a low-field component. The magnetic splitting decreased as a function of increasing carbon concentration and alloys with x greater than about 0.68 were primarily paramagnetic in nature. These spectra exhibited distributions of quadrupole splitting with mean splitting in excess of 1.0 mm/s. This indicates a higher degree of local asymmetry around the Fe sites than typically seen in other Fe-metalloid systems.
