TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetization measurements on NiCr alloys were analyzed in terms of the itinerant band model of very weak ferromagnetism and several characteristic properties related to the effective exchange interaction and to the band structure near the Fermi level were deduced from this analysis.
Abstract: New magnetization measurements on NiCr alloys are reported. At increasing Cr concentrations c less than 11 at%, the mean atomic moment M0 = 0 for c = 12 at% Cr. In the critical concentration range, 11 < c < 15 at% Cr, the experimental data are analysed in terms of the itinerant band model of very weak ferromagnetism. Several characteristic properties related to the effective exchange interaction and to the band structure near the Fermi level are deduced from this analysis. Des mesures d'aimantation d'alliages NiCr ont ete effectuees. Pour c<11% at., on observe une decroissance lineaire du moment magnetique par atome moyen M0 = 0,616 μB – 0,051 c μB. Cette partie lineaire s'extrapole a zero pour c = 12% at. Cr. Les resultats obtenus dans la region critique de disparition du ferromagnetisme, 11 < c <15% at. Cr. ont ete analyses dans un modele d'electron collectif applique au cas du ferromagnetisme tres faible. On en deduit plusieurs proprietes caracteristiques en rapport avec l'interaction d'echange effective et la densite d'etat au niveau de Fermi.

Abstract: A study has been conducted on the magnetic properties of a series of biaxially textured Ni1� xWx materials with compositions x ¼ 0; 3; 5; 6, and 9 at.% W. These materials are important as substrates for ‘‘RABiTS’’-type coated conductors that incorporate high temperature superconductors for current transport. The quasi-static dc and ac hysteretic loss W was determined to support estimates of the ferromagnetic contribution to the overall ac loss in potential ac applications. The alloys were prepared by either vacuum casting or powder metallurgy methods, and the hysteretic loss tended to be lower in materials that were recrystallized at higher temperatures. Some samples were progressively deformed (0.4% bending strain) to simulate winding operations; this increased the hysteretic loss, as did sample cutting operations that create localized damage. In ac magnetization measurements, the effects of ac frequency and dc bias field on the ferromagnetic loss were determined. � 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TL;DR: A series of biaxially textured Ni1−xCrx materials, with compositions x=0, 7, 9, 11, and 13 at.%Cr, have been studied for use as substrate materials in coated conductor applications with high temperature superconductors as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A series of biaxially textured Ni1−xCrx materials, with compositions x=0, 7, 9, 11, and 13 at.%Cr, have been studied for use as substrate materials in coated conductor applications with high temperature superconductors. The magnetic properties were investigated, including the hysteretic loss in a Ni–7at.%Cr sample that was controllably deformed; for comparison, the loss was also measured in a similarly deformed pure Ni substrate. Complementary X-ray diffraction studies show that thermomechanical processing produces nearly complete {1 0 0}〈1 0 0〉 cube texturing, as desired for applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the high field susceptibility of nickel-platinum alloys in fields up to 150 kOe, at temperatures between 4.2 and 300 K. The results were compared with those obtained for palladium-nickel alloys.
Abstract: The authors have studied the high field susceptibility of nickel-platinum alloys in fields up to 150 kOe, at temperatures between 4.2 and 300K. The high field susceptibility is analysed in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic range by means of Arrott plots and Landau coefficients. The paramagnetic initial susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss law, with a Curie constant independent of nickel concentration. The results are compared with those obtained for palladium-nickel alloys. The experimental data are discussed in the framework of recent theories on itinerant ferromagnetism.
