Abstract

Metallic mixtures of iron and nickel that do not change volume when heated were discovered more than a century ago. These ‘invar’ alloys have found many uses in heat-sensitive devices. A new quantum mechanical explanation of their behaviour describes the changing nature of magnetically ordered states in the alloy.
