Abstract
The variations of the electrical resistivity, the magnetization, and the grain-boundary precipitates of a Ni-rich Ni-In alloy system with In concentration up to 7.5 at. % have been investigated as functions of annealing time at 773 K. For samples homogenized at 1225 K, clear grain boundaries are observed. However, for these aged samples, we observed both grain-boundary precipitates and variations of the electrical resistivity and the magnetization; and the binary alloy with higher In concentration has the higher variation rate in the decrease of the electrical resistivity, the increase of the magnetization, and the growth of the grain-boundary precipitates.
