  • Abstract
    Metastable GdxNb1-x alloys over the entire composition range have been realized by co-deposition at room temperature. Structural and magnetic phase diagrams have been determined. The alloys are crystalline bcc (0.00⩽x⩽0.40), amorphous (0.40⩽x⩽0.70), and crystalline hcp (0.70⩽x⩽1.00). Magnetic and magneto-transport measurements show spin glass ordering for x⩽0.60, and ferromagnetic ordering with a weak spin glass transition for x>0.60
