Abstract

Low-field magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization results are reported for polycrystalline samples of NbPd₃, VPd₃, and iron doped VPd₃. Recent self-consistent, spin-polarized band calculations have predicted that the pure compounds are itinerant ferromagnets. Down to 1.6 K there is no evidence for either magnetic ordering or exchange enhancement in VPd₃ and NbPd₃. The Fe-doped alloys exhibit transitions at low temperatures to a magnetic cluster-glass state.
