Abstract
A method of analyzing the diffuse scattering of polarized neutrons from ferromagnetic alloys close to the critical concentration is outlined. Close agreement is found between the earlier work of Hicks et al., on giant magnetization clouds in Ni-Cu and this analysis of the new polarized neutron results assuming that each magnetization cloud is "seeded" by a nickel atom with eleven or more first neighbors.
