Abstract

ZrZn2 is a weak ferromagnet which is composed of two elements of nonmagnetic metals, Zr and Zn. The neutron diffraction experiments reveal that the magnetic moment density is spread out along the Zr-Zr bond [64 P 1,84 B 1]; this is taken as evidence that the magnetism is due to itinerant electrons. Basic relations of the magnetization with a magnetic field H and temperature T for ZrZn2 can be described by the Stoner model for weak itinerant ferromagnets; this weak ferromagnetism can be attributed to a high narrow peak of the density of states at the Fermi energy.
