Abstract

The magnetization of Ni_{1-x}Mo_{x} single crystals with x=4,6,8 and 10 % by weight have been measured at 4.2K using a vibrating sample magnetometer and a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). The magnetization of the alloy at these low concentrations and at 0 K have been theoretically determined by using the tight-binding linearized muffin-tin orbital method coupled with augmented space recursion. The theoretical data are compared with the experiment.
