Description
Bulk metallic glasses based on the quaternary alloy Pd-Ni-Fe-P exhibit interesting phase behavior depending on temperature and applied magnetic field. Previous work has suggested that a range of magnetic phases, including paramagnetic, superparamagnetic, ferromagnetic and spin glass, can be observed in this system. We have applied one-dimensional neutron depolarization to explore the correlation of magnetic moments in Pd40Ni22.5Fe17.5P20 alloy as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. The results provided evidence for correlation lengths of ∼200 A. The nature of the correlations and the formation mechanism of the induced ferromagnetic phase are discussed
