Resumen:
We present here a systematic study of the structural and magnetic properties of a
series of alloys around a central composition Al50Cu20Fe30, obtained by mechanical
alloying. The samples have bcc crystalline structure with partial B2 order. Thermal
annealing, through differential scanning calorimetry measurements, just removes some
defects but do not change the crystalline structure. AC susceptibility measurements show
that in spite of their structural similarity these samples have quite different magnetic
behaviours. Furthermore, most of the samples shown a complex magnetic evolution with
temperature. Some samples have a cluster glass-like behavior at low temperatures and a
superparamagnetic-like one at higher temperatures. A model of magnetic clusters
originated in composition fluctuations across the alloy is proposed to explain the observed
magnetic properties.
