Random alloys of Nb in α‐Fe with the Nb concentration up to about 5 at.% were investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature vs. Nb concentration. A solid solution saturates at about 2.3 at.% of Nb. Non‐stoichiometric Fe 2 Nb phase rich in Fe precipitates at higher Nb concentrations leaving α‐Fe phase with about 1.6 at.% of Nb. The spin density of the iron atom is influenced in the α phase by the Nb atoms residing as nearest neighbours or second nearest neighbours. More distant impurities have no effect on the hyperfine parameters of Fe. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
