Abstract
New measurements in fields of less than 20 Oe of the static susceptibility of Au0.96Fe0.04 are presented. A sharp peak chi (T) is obtained under non-equilibrium conditions. When however the magnetization is allowed to come into equilibrium at each temperature, a quite different behaviour of chi (T) is found. In this particular alloy the long time equilibrium state is apparently the same as the field cooled state.
