Abstract: | Neutron scattering has provided unique information about the nature of magnetism in amorphous alloys. This paper reviews some of the results obtained principally on two ribbon-form metallic glass systems - (FexNi1?x)75P16B5Al3 and FexB1?x. The former exhibits three states depending on composition: pure ferromagnetism, re-entrant spin glass, and ordinary spin glass. The neutron results provide evidence for the coexistence of spin glass and ferromagnetic correlations in the intermediate regime. The alloys of Fe and B show Invar phenomena which result in anomalously small values of the effective spin-wave stiffness calculated from low-temperature magnetization and Mössbauer data. The long-wavelength spin waves as measured by the neutrons do not reflect the rapid demagnetization found in the bulk results, implying the presence of excitation processes other than long-wave-length spin waves. |
