Abstract

Neutron scattering experiments reveal that in weakly ferromagnetic Ni-Cu alloys near the critical composition the low-temperature spontaneous magnetization is inhomogeneously distributed in magnetic polarization clouds of large total moment (over ${8\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}_{\mathrm{B}}$) extending over many atoms.
