Dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the palladium silver alloy system on temperature and composition

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Starting from thermodynamic considerations an analytical expression χ(T, x) is given for the variation of the magnetic susceptibility of the substitutional Pd1−x Ag x alloy series with both temperatureT and fractional silver contentx. The observed rapid decrease of the isothermal susceptibility χ(T=const,x) with increasingx and the disappearance of the maximum of the low temperature isopleths χ(T,x=const) forx≲0.1 can be specified by three fitting constants related to microscopic model parameters.
