Amorphous Rare Earth-Transition Metal Alloys (Materials Research)

中子散射、输运和磁化测量将被用来研究自旋有序的基本性质和表征非晶态稀土过渡金属合金的磁相变。新的方法包括非晶态多层膜的制备和研究，以及对可能的分子行为的探索。这些研究为学生提供了有价值的中子衍射技术培训，并在磁光记录材料方面具有潜在的应用前景。

Neutron scattering, transport and magnetization measurements will be used to investigate the basic nature of spin ordering and to characterize the magnetic transitions in amorphous rare earth transition metal alloys. New approaches include fabrication and study of amorphous multilayers and a search for possible fracton behavior. The studies provide valuable training of students in neutron diffraction techniques and have potential application for magneto-optic recording materials.
