Small-angle neutron scattering studies of Ce(Fe1−xAlx)2 at high temperatures

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments have been carried out on Ce(Fe1−xAlx)2 with x = 0, 0.06 and 0.14 to study the ferromagnetic instability in the pure compound, to small amounts of magnetic impurities. The temperature range was 300–710 K and the scattering configuration was in the low resolution with scattering wave vectors larger than 0.02 Å−1. The increase in measured susceptibility near 600 K indicates high-temperature …
