Abstract
A study is reported of the magnetic properties of the random alloy ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$, which represents an archetypal example of a system with competing orthogonal spin anisotropies. Behavior similar to previous experiments and theoretical predictions is found, but with important qualitative and quantitative differences; in particular the phase transition in one variable is drastically altered by the existence of long-range order in the other variable. It is hypothesized that this is due to microscopic random-field effects.
