Polarized neutron study of the magnetic mesostructure in (Pd 1-x Fe x ) 1-y Mn y

In PdFeMn alloys with different Fe-atom concentrations, the behaviour of both mean magnetization and neutron depolarization in the magnetization/demagnetization process was observed by three-dimensional analysis of neutron-beam polarization. Both magnetization and depolarization have a hysteresis loop for the same values of an applied field. Depolarization loops are sharply distinguished for different alloys. This gives evidence of different magnetic mesostructures in these alloys.
