Amorphous yttrium-iron alloys. II. Mossbauer spectra

Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.11, no.12, p.2727 (1981). Mossbauer data are presented for eight Y1-xFex alloys with 0.320.29Fe0.71 varies as (Hhf(T))=(Hhf(0))-cTn below 40K where n=1.1+or-0.1. An explanation is suggested in terms of single atom excitations where iron atoms in environments barely suitable for the existence of a moment are excited to low-lying non-magnetic states.
