Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Liquid Transition Metals and Alloys

We have measured the magnetic susceptibility, the Hall coefficient and the electrical resistivity of liquid transition metals Fe, Co and Ni alloyed with normal metals. Up to now the investigated alloys can be divided into two groups according to the behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility. The typical behaviour is represented by the liquid alloys of Co-Ge and Au-Ni. In the first group the magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law for the pure liquid transition metals and the transition metal rich alloys while in the second group the Curie-Weiss law is observed for almost all concentrations. The conclusions drawn from the measurements of the magnetic susceptibility are in good agreement with the results of the measurements of the Hall coefficient.
