摘要
The magnetic properties of several iron-rich amorphous alloys of the form a-FexT100-x (T=Zr,Hf,Sc; x∼90) have been studied down to 5 K using magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy, both with and without an external magnetic field. Two magnetic transitions are observed: first to a collinear magnetic state at Tc, then noncollinearity develops at Txy. Analysis of the composition and temperature dependences of the magnetic ordering allows us to rule out cluster-based models of the behavior. All of our results can be explained in terms of a homogeneous freezing of transverse spin components at Txy leading to a state in which ferromagnetic and spin-glass order coexist. Quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulations of a bond-frustrated Heisenberg system is observed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
