Magnetic moment distribution in Fe0.68 60Ni0.32

Abstract
The polarized‐neutron, diffuse scattering method was used to investigate the magnetic moment distribution in Fe0.68 60Ni0.32. The measurements were made on an isotopic single crystal at 295 K in a magnetizing field of 2.0 T. These yield a difference in average moments of 0.46 μB which can be combined with the known magnetization of 0.95 μB to give average ferromagnetic moments of 1.10 μB/Fe and 0.64 μB/Ni. Pronounced local environment effects are observed, and these are negative except for the second neighbor effect. This sign sequence suggests the presence of some antiparallel alignment of Fe moments.
