Magnetic Properties of3dTransition-Metal Impurities in Metallic Host Lattices

Abstract
We report magnetic susceptibility studies of dilute liquid alloys containing V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni in Cu, CuZn, Zn, ZnGa, Ga, GaGe, Ge, GeAs, and As liquid solvents. An analysis of the susceptibilities in terms of excited local impurity configurations (excited impurity pseudoatoms) offers a quantitatively successful and conceptually clear insight into the magnetic properties of impurities in simple metallic host lattices at high temperature.
