MAGNETIZATION OF VERY DILUTE PdMn AND PdFe ALLOYS : RE-ENTRANT BEHAVIOUR ?

Abstract
The static magnetization of three very dilute Pd-based alloys containing 700 ppm Fe, 700 ppm Mn and 1 000 ppm Mn has been measured in low applied fields up to 10 Oe as a function of temperature between 50 mK and 1.0 K. The zero field cooled magnetization possesses features which can be replicated by a mean field effective-field model for bond disordered systems with arbitrary spin S, suggesting that these alloys may be in the re-entrant regime of the magnetic phase diagram. Measurements of the time dependence of the thermoremanent magnetization yield essentially logarithmic behaviour over a wide range of temperatures.
