Magnetic properties of supported platinum–iron alloys
Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility X of small particles of Pt–Fe alloys has been measured between 77 and 700 K in H2 and O2. High temperature values of X correspond to the paramagnetic behaviour of bulk alloys. Low temperature values of X indicate superparamagnetism. The data also show that at room temperature H2 removes only part of oxygen preadsorbed at the surface of these alloys.
