Abstract
We present small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data collected on polycrystalline Ni1-xVx samples with x >= 0.10 with confirmed random atomic distribution. We aim to determine the relevant length scales of magnetic correlations in ferromagnetic samples with low critical temperatures T-c that show signs of magnetic inhomogeneities in magnetization and mu SR data. The SANS study reveals signatures of long-range order and coexistence of short-range magnetic correlations in this randomly disordered ferromagnetic alloy. We show the advantages of a polarization analysis in identifying the main magnetic contributions from the dominating nuclear scattering. (c) 2020 Author(s).
