Systematic analysis of the magnetic susceptibilities for a number of Zr-M glassy alloys
(M = Cu, Ni, Co and Fe) and for ternary Zr2(Ni1 -
xMx)1 glassy alloys with M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Cu has
been performed. By combining our data for the magnetic susceptibility and superconducting
transition temperature with the literature data for low-temperature specific heat, we have
extracted the Pauli susceptibilities (cp)
and the Stoner enhancement factors (S) for these alloys. The binary Zr-Cu and Zr-Ni alloys
have practically the same S, whereas Zr-Co and Zr-Fe alloys show larger S which increases
in going from Co to Fe. In ternary alloys, cp and S show pronounced maxima centred around M = Mn. For these
alloys we also estimated S from the low-temperature magnetoresistivity.
