Small-angle total and inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed on a single crystal of the ordered alloy Fe 0.7 Al 0.3. The behavior of the Q dependence of the small-angle intensity can be classified into four temperature regions which correspond to the bulk behavior:(i) T> T c= 510 K (paramagnetic region); the line shape is Lorentzian with κ→ 0 as T> T c.(ii) 300 K< T< T c (ferromagnetic region); I (Q)∼ Q− 2 as expected from spin waves.(iii) 100 K< T< 300 K (near T c inv); I (Q)∼ Q− α, with α being T dependent and reaching a maximum value α= 2.6. In this region the T dependence of the intensity exhibits a peak which is Q dependent. Near T c inv≈ 160 K, a thermal hysteresis and novel time dependence of the scattering is observed.(iv) T< 100 K (spin-glass regime); the line shape is again Lorentzian with κ increasing with decreasing T. No anomaly is observed at T f≈ 90 K. The inelastic measurements reveal that spin waves exist in the ferromagnetic regime but disappear as the temperature is lowered. For temperatures less than T c inv, an elastic central peak appears which increases as T is decreased. The results are interpreted in terms of random-field effects.
