Using an RF‐SQUID magnetometer, the temperature‐dependent magnetic susceptibility of dilute Pt‐Fe alloys containing 10.5 ppm Fe, and 0.87 and 0.99 at% Fe is measured in the temperature range 1 to 4.2 K and in de‐fields between 0.5 and 15 Oe. For 10.5 ppm Fe, the susceptibility obeys the Curie law, and the saturation magnetic moment μ sat is ≈ 9.3μ B /Fe. The Pt‐0.87 at% Fe and −0.99 at% Fe alloys are spin‐glass and quasiferromagnetic, respectively, and both show superparamagnetic properties at temperatures between transition temperature T t and ≈ 2 T t . Furthermore, the susceptibility of these alloys, around and below T t , is field dependent, decreasing in magnitude with increasing field.
