From the paramagnetic critical neutron scattering of Au0.82Fe0.18 we d
erive the absolute values of the neutron bulk susceptibility chi(q=0)(
T). The excellent agreement between chi(q=0)(T) and the susceptibility
, measured with a Faraday balance, validates our analysis, in the fram
e of the Omstein-Zernicke formalism, and the resulting enhancement of
the critical correlations by the disorder. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B
