Magnetic susceptibility and electronic structure of solid and liquid Co,V alloys and Ni,V alloys

The temperature and concentration dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Co, V and Ni, V alloys has been investigated in a wide temperature (800–1800°C) and concentration (0–50 at.% V) range. The concentration dependence of is on the whole monotonic, but it exhibits extrema in the region of low vanadium concentrations (up to 2%). The results obtained are discussed on the basis of the band model taking into consideration the possibility of the formation of localized states at vanadium atoms in some narrow concentration range.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 86–91, April, 1979.
