Low-temperature susceptibility of dilute Zn-Mn alloys
Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of pure Zn and Zn-Mn alloys containing 12-275 ppm Mn has been investigated in the temperature range 2.7-300 K after different metallurgical treatments. In a 1/ΔX-vs.-T plot the curves for the cold-deformed alloys follow a Curie-Weiss law with a concentration-independent paramagnetic Curie temperature θ=-1.0 K. The effective moment of Mn isPeff=4.28 µB for these alloys with concentrations above 27 ppm. Annealing of the alloys at temperatures between 200 and 400°C leads to increasing ¦θ¦ andpeff.
