Abstract: Magnetic properties of four sigma-phase Fe100-xVx samples with 34.4 <= x <= 55.1 were investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements in the temperature interval 4.2-300 K. Four magnetic quantities, viz. hyperfine field, Curie temperature, magnetic moment and susceptibility, were determined. The sample containing 34.4 at% V was revealed to exhibit the largest values found up to now for the sigma-phase for average hyperfine field, < B > = 12.1 T, average magnetic moment per Fe atom, = 0.89 mu(B), and Curie temperature, T-C = 315.3 K. The quantities were shown to be strongly correlated with each other. In particular, T-C is linearly correlated with with a slope of 406.5 K/mu(B), as well as < B > is so correlated with , yielding 14.3 T/mu(B) for the hyperfine coupling constant.
