Magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistance, and density of Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 alloy at high temperatures

This study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant no. 07-02-01049).Results are given of an investigation of magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistance, and density of Al62Cu25.5 5Fe(12.5) alloy in the solid and liquid states. It is found that the behavior of the investigated properties at temperatures above the melting point is abnormal. The results are discussed assuming the existence of long-lived (metastable) microregions in the melts
