Conduction-Electron Polarization in DilutePdFeAlloys Studied by Positive Muons

Abstract

The ${\mu }^{+}$ spin-rotation method was used to probe conduction-electron polarization in ferromagnetic $\mathrm{Pd}\mathrm{Fe}$ (0.28 at.%) and spin-glass $\mathrm{Pd}\mathrm{Fe}$ (0.015 at.%) from 0.11 to 300 K with reference to pure Pd. The result was explained in terms of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida spin oscillation in the region outside the giant moment.
