Resumen:
We report a magnetic study on nanostructured (Fe79Mn21)1xCux (0.00x0.30) alloys usingstatic magnetic measurements. The alloys are mainly composed by an antiferromagneticfcc phaseand a disordered region that displays a spin-glass-like behavior. The interplay between theantiferromagnetic and magnetically disordered phases establishes an exchange anisotropy thatgives rise to a loop shift at temperatures below the freezing temperature of moments belonging tothe disordered region. The loop shift is more noticeable as the Cu content increases, which alsoenhances the spin-glass-like features. Further, in the x¼0.30 alloy the alignment imposed byapplied magnetic fields higher than 4 kOe prevail over the configuration determined by thefrustration mechanism that characterizes the spin glass-like phase.
