Abstract

The magnetic properties of a material are affected by the type of atomic order present in the sample. In particular, the atoms of one kind change their magnetic behavior depending on the composition of its first-neighbor shell. The analysis of magnetic samples by neutron diffuse scattering allows us to separate the atomic short-range order component from the magnetic component, but simultaneously we can study the correlations that affect the magnetic properties of materials. Using neutron-scattering data, we have analyzed the atomic short-range order in several samples where the host is Pd and the impurity is Mn. This analysis allows us to see the effects that this order has on the magnetic properties.
