| Abstract: | The determination of Tc in dilute alloys is examined. As an example, magnetization vs field data in a Pd0.95Gd0.05 alloy are presented. For this alloy, it was not possible to determine a value of Tc using Arrott-Belov-Kouvel (ABK) plots; the conditions for the applicability of ABK plots were not satisfied. Results of very-low-field ac and dc magnetization vs T, which depend mainly on the demagnetization factor, yield a more precise measure of Tc. We conclude that the latter procedures are more useful than ABK plots for determination of Tc in dilute alloys. |
