NEUTRON SCATTERING STUDY OF THE MAGNETIC CORRELATIONS OF IRON RICH Fe-Zr GLASSES

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and polarized-beam spin rotation measurements show that amorphous Fe/sub 80/Zr/sub 10/ does not exhibit conventional long range ferromagnetic order below T/sub C/. The SANS measurements show the existence of two characteristic length scales; one provides evidence of relatively large spin clusters, while the other is characteristic of the spin dynamics. 4 refs., 3 figs.
