Abstract
Neutron inelastic scattering measurements have been performed on two single crystals of the thermally quenched γ-phase (fcc) alloy, Fe1-xPdx with x = 0.28 and x = 0.37. The x = 0.28 sample which orders ferromagnetically at Tc = 575 K exhibits a smeared structural transition into an fct phase near TM = 265 K. An anomalous dispersion of the [ζζ0]TAl branch due to the decrease of the phonon energy around the Ɖ point develops below Tc. As the temperature decreases, the branch decreases in energy. The anomalous part of the elastic constant, Ɗ(C11-C12)/2, follows the same temperature dependence as the square of the magnetization. On the x = 0.37 sample which has no structure transition, the phonon anomaly is much weaker. For both crystals the other branches exhibit normal behavior.
