Magnetic suspectibilities of liquid gold alloys

Abstract

The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of liquid Au-Zn and Au-Cd alloys have been measured. Curves of the susceptibilities of these alloys for all concentrations show rather a big deviation from the linearly interpolated ones. With the increase of temperature, these curves approach the interpolated curves. This fact might be related to the change of clustering in the liquid state, which approaches a random mixture with the increase in temperature.
