Abstract
We have carried out ultrasonic and neutron studies of a range of single-crystal Gd1−x Scx random alloys (x=0.25, 0.28, 0.295, 0.31, 0.32, 0.36) in the vicinity of the multicritical point at x=0.29. The sample richest in Gd shows magnetic behavior similar to the pure element while those richer in Sc display helimagnetism with lock-in effects at low temperature. The sample closest to the multicritical point (x=0.28) shows unusual magnetic behavior at low temperatures.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
