Description

The random-exchange metallic Gd5Co50Al45 alloy is investigated using dc and ac magnetization measurements. The freezing phenomenon below Tf ∼ 160 K is studied employing static and dynamic scaling analyses. The results of the analyses show that the alloy undergoes a transition from a paramagnetic to a cluster-glass state upon cooling. The values of the critical exponents characterizing the disordered phase are estimated and discussed comparatively with similar systems
