FERROMAGNETISM AND SPIN-GLASS PROPERTIES OF PDFEMN

Low-field dc magnetization measurements on the ternary allow (Pd0.9965Fe0.0035)0.95Mn0.05 show that the decrease of the ac susceptibility below 3 K which previously had been attributed to a transition from the ferromagnetic to a spin-glass state is due simply to the onset of hysteresis in the magnetization. It is shown that the alloy remains ferromagnetic down to at least 1.8 K. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
