【 摘 要 】

Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops in Cu-Al-Mn alloys of different Mn content at low temperatures are presented. The loops are smooth and continuous above a certain temperature, but exhibit a magnetization discontinuity below that temperature. Scaling analysis suggest that this system displays a disorder-induced phase transition line. Measurements allow one to determine the critical exponents beta=0.03+/-0.01 and betadelta=0.4+/-0.1, which coincide with those reported recently in a different system, thus supporting the existence of universality for disorder-induced critical points.
