Abstract: • Modification of electric and, magnetic properties of CuFe alloy by energetic electron irradiation enhanced segregation. • Using electron irradiation, the modification of bulk materials is possible. • The present irradiation method using a conventional electron accelerator can easily be applied to industrial purposes. Cu-1.2 at.% Fe samples were irradiated with 1.5 MeV electrons at 333 K and 448 K. Effects of the irradiation were observed as an increase in electrical conductivity and magnetization. In contrast, the Vickers hardness was little changed by the irradiation. The experimental results were explained as due to small Fe-rich clusters produced through radiation-enhanced diffusion. The present study shows that electron irradiation provides a fine control of the magnetic and electric properties of the Cu-Fe alloy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
