STRUCTURE AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF A1_8.8Fe_3.7Ce₁ ALLOY

Paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic properties are reported for as-quenched amorphous, annealed quasicrystal and crystal Al-Fe-Ce alloys. The first ferromagnetic quasicrystal was studied. Its Curie temperature is about 340K and μ(Fe)= 2.3μ_B.
