Small-angle quasielastic neutron scattering measurements have revealed an intense magnetic component at low temperatures in amorphous TbFe2 and YFe2, in addition to a weak critical divergence at Tc in TbFe2. These observations are interpreted as evidence that spatial fluctuations remain "frozen in" below the Curie point of TbFe2, and that only short-range order is achieved in YFe2.
