Abstract
We illustrate our 'first-principles' theory for magnetic correlations and atomic short-range order in paramagnetic alloys with an applicatio n to a Mn15CuR5 alloy, well known for its spin-glass behaviour at low temperatures. Our results indicate some unusual antiferromagnetic corr elations, as also found experimentally. We provide a consistent interp retation of the extensive magnetic and atomic neutron-scattering data.
