A ferromagnetic Pd{sub 97.5}Mn{sub 2.5} alloy single crystal was studied by neutron scattering and susceptibility measurements. The diffuse satellite peaks along the [1 0 0] axis were observed for the ferromagnetic alloy. The diffuse satellite peaks, however, disappeared under a magnetic field of 5 T applied along the [0 0 1] direction perpendicular to the (0 0 1) scattering plane. Combined with the susceptibility data, we discuss several models for the ferromagnetic state of the dilute PdMn alloy.
