Abstract

The magnetic moment and spin fluctuation temperature of isolated Fe impurity atoms in Pd1−xVx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) alloys have been studied by time differential perturbed angular distribution (TDPAD) technique. With increasing V content in Pd matrix, a large non-linear reduction of the local magnetic moment accompanied with an exponential increase of the spin fluctuation temperature TSF has been observed. At and beyond x = 0.12, the Fe atoms are found to be nonmagnetic. As an important new feature, TSF is observed to vary quadratically with composition dependent changes in host spin polarization.
