The magnetic properties of Fe/sub 2/Ti and Fe/sub 2/Zr, intermetallic compounds with Laves-type structures, are studied using the techniques of neutron diffraction and nuclear resonance fluorescence (Mossbauer effect). Both compounds are ferromagnetic, with magnetic moments of 0.35 and 2.56 Bohr magnetons respectively at room temperature, and 0.92 and 3.12 Bohr magnetons respectively at liquid helium temperature. A magnetic form factor for the iron atoms in Fe/sub 2/Zr is determined, The nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments give measures of the magnetic fields at the iron nuclei. At room temperature, the field for Fe/sub 2/Zr is 190 plus or minus 10 kgauss, while that for Fe/sub 2/Ti is less than 5 kgauss. The relation between the atomic magnetic moments and the magnetic fields at the nuclei is discussed. (auth)
