We present the results of a study of magnetism in rhodium, ruthenium, and palladium clusters. We report values for the magnetic moments of rhodium clusters which are free from a systematic error present in our previous measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 923 (1993)] and show that their magnetic moments decrease to the bulk value of zero as the cluster sizes increase. Ruthenium and palladium clusters are nonmagnetic.
