An experimental study of the magnetic phase diagrams of Cr-Al alloys doped
with V and Mn to respectively decrease and increase the electron concentrat
ion per atom (e(A)), are reported. The e(A) dependence of the magnetic phas
e transition temperatures of three Cr-Al alloys is discussed in terms of ch
anges in the nesting parameter of the electron and hole Fermi surface sheet
