Abstract

Magnetization and Mössbauer-effect studies of ferromagnetic Al-Mn-Si and Al-Mn-Cu-Ge quasicrystals are presented. All alloys show paramagnetic or spin-glass behavior in addition to ferromagnetism at low temperatures. The effects of Fe substitution on the magnetic properties were investigated. Possible models for ferromagnetic order in quasicrystals are discussed.
