Notes:
The spontaneous nuclear spin ordering in the simple diamagnetic metals Cu and Ag has been studied by neutron diffraction using the spin dependent part of the nuclear cross section. Simple antiferromagnetic ordering of type I has been found in zero field for these fcc-systems below 60 and 560 pK for Cu and Ag, respectively. The ordering in an applied field has been investigated and the phase diagrams have been determined: a very complex phase diagram with different magnetic structures, strong hysteresis, and time dependence was found for Cu, while in Ag the phase diagram is very simple. Comparison with ab initio calculations allows a rather deep insight into the interactions leading to the ordering. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
