Abstract
A detailed analysis of the magnetic susceptibilities for a number of binary Zr-M (M = Cu, Ni, Co and Fe) and for ternary Zr2(Nil−xMx)1 glassy alloys with M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Cu respectively has been performed. By combining our data for the magnetic susceptibility and superconducting transition temperature with the literature data for a low temperature specific heat we extracted the Pauli susceptibilities (χp) and the Stoner enhancement factors (S) for all alloys. The data for Zr-M alloys reflect smooth change in the electronic band structure on alloying and the onset of magnetic correlations for M = Co and Fe. The results for ternary alloys can be explained by the combination of the small systematic change in the electronic band structure with M and the appearance of localized magnetic moments for M around Mn. For ternary alloys we also estimated S from the low temperature magnetoresistivity.
