Neutron Diffraction Study on Chromium Alloy with Small Amounts of Vanadium

抄録

A neutron diffraction study has been performed on chromium alloy cantaining 0.45 atomic percent vanadium in comparison with the existing results on pure chromium. An experimental evidence has been obtained that both the magnetic period and magnetic moment decrease rapidly with increasing vanadium concentration supporting the theoretical prediction by Tachiki and Nagamiya. The implications of the experimental details are discussed in terms of the spin density wave mechanism.
