Magnetic and Thermodynamical Properties of Liquid Ag-Polyvalent Alloys

Abstract

The magnetic susceptibilities of liquid Ag--In, Ag--Sn, Ag--Ga and Ag--Zn alloy systems have been measured over a wide temperature range from 600 to 1085°C. The magnetic susceptibility curves at 1010°C were plotted against the alloy composition, which are different from one another. The temperature coefficients of their magnetic susceptibilities against the composition were very similar, showing a sharp minimum at about 90 at%Ag and a broad maximum at about 70 at%Ag, except for those of the Ag--Zn system. The curve of the concentration-concentration fluctuation in the long wavelength limit S_CC(0) of those alloys has been estimated by using the experimental EMF data compiled in the literatures. Two pronounced minima exist in the S_CC(0) curves at about 35 and 70 at%Ag, except for the Ag--Ga system.
