Abstract
The isomer shift of binary iron alloys is related to the itineracy of the valence electrons. The problem of a volume correction in disordered alloys is discussed and further avoided by using data of intermetallic compounds. From a large selection of possible parameters a linear combination of the electronegativityφ * and the electron densityn ws in the Wigner-Seitz cell seems to be a good choice for fitting the data. The problem that these parameters are of minor importance for the cohesion in transition metal alloys is discussed.
