Abstract
A systematic study was carried out by means of paramagnetic susceptibility measurements, X-ray diffractometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in order to determine crystal and electronic structure changes along with alloying additions. The experimental MT temperatures were compared with those calculated for ZrCu-based alloys with the help of Shabalovskaya semi-empirical approach [1]. The results of such a comparison will be discussed.
