The time decay of the thermoremanent magnetization(TRM) of the Fe 80−x Ni x Cr 20 (14 ≤ x ≤ 30) alloys has been measured for four different magnetic phases within the fcc γ-phase using a SQUID magnetometer. In the spin-glass phase(SG)(X=19) very distinct ageing effects are observed where M(t) can be described as M (t) = M 0 (t/t w ) −γ exp[−(t/τ ) 1−n ] for the entire time domain. In the reentrant spin-glass(RSG)(X= 23 and 26), M(t) can be better represented by the stretched exponential with an addition of a constant term which can be well explained by the Gabay-Toulouse(GT) model.We have also measured the linear and non-linear ac susceptibilities for the sample X=23 and confirmed the presence of the ferromagnetic(FM) ordering down to the lowest temperature. In the RSG(X=23), the TRM shows a minimum near T c and a local maximum just above T c . In the FM phase (X=30) the popular prediction of the power law decay of the TRM is observed. The latter is indistinguishable from the stretched exponential in the antiferromagnetic(AF) phase (X=14).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
