Notes:
Neutron-scattering and magnetization measurements on dilute PdMn alloys have been analyzed using a magnetic environment model of ferromagnetism, atomic short-range order, and Mn-Mn interactions. The analysis allows the calculation of several magnetic properties of PdMn, and the effects of Mn-Mn interactions and atomic short range order on the critical temperatures of ferromagnetism. These temperatures, which are small in dilute PdMn alloys in comparison with other typical giant moment systems such as PdFe, were calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method, and the results were compared with experimental values, showing good agreement for the concentrations considered.
