Abstract
A series ofCuFe alloys containing 5, 10 and 16 at% Fe has been prepared using standard ribbon spinning techniques. It is found that samples containing significant fractions (∼ 5%) of Fe in the form of r-Fe can be obtained readily on quenching from the (r + liquid) phase, applied field spectra (0–5.2 T) on antiferromagnetic r-Fe at 4. 2 K indicate that the anisotropy energy is small and that spins tilt from the minimum energy configuration (spin axes perpendicular to Bappl) for Bappl ≥ 2.5T.
