Abstract

The effect of local atomic environment on the atomic moment of Fe in Fe−Al alloys and of V in Au−V alloys is reevaluated, using improved methods of analysis and new magnetic data. Magnetic clusters with giant moments occur in many alloys in which one of the components has no magnetic moment. This is true for FeAl in spite of the presence of well-developed atomic long range order, although the concentration of magnetic clusters does decrease with increasing long range order. The phenomena of mictomagnetism are reviewed. Mictomagnetism occurs in many alloys having no long range atomic order, and it is characterized by the freezing of the spin orientations at low temperatures but, in contrast to ferromagnetism and to antiferromagnetism, without long range magnetic order.

Additional information

He was born in Budapest, Hungary, and studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University in that city. He came to the United States in 1928 as a Graduate Student in Metallurgy at the Michigan Technological University. He did research work at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute for Metals Research in Berlin, Germany, with Prof. M. Polanyi and at the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique of the University of Paris, France.

His industrial experience (a total of 8 years) was with the Central Research Laboratory of the American Smelting and Refining Co., The Beryllium Corporation, and the Research Laboratory of the Cleveland Graphite Bronze Co.

Prof. Beck taught at the University of Notre Dame from 1945 to 1951 and at the University of Illinois during the last twenty years.

He became a member of AIME in 1936 and served at various times as member and as chairman on the IMD Committees of Membership, Publications, Programs, Annual Lecture, Matthewson Gold Medal Award, on the Technical Committee on Alloy Phases, and as a member of the Executive Committee. He was elected a Fellow of The Metallurgical Society in 1965.

His principal research interest for some 35 years: recrystallization, grain growth, and textures. More recently: alloy phase stability, electronic structure of the transition metals, and magnetism in alloys.

This lecture was delivered on Wednesday, May 19, 1971 at the Spring Meeting of The Metallurgical Society of AIME held in Atlanta, Ga.
