Abstract: By ESR study a size effect in nanostructured NiAl samples was found. There is no ESR signal in polycrystalline bulk NiAl alloy which only has very weak Pauli paramagnetism. The ESR signal of nanostructure NiAl (n-NiAl), whose grain size is about 8.6nm and TC is 124K, is weakelled with the increase of temperature. When the n-NiAl.was anneled at 550℃ and 707℃, the average grain sizes of the samples are 12nm and 21nm respectively, and their ESR signals are stronger, and both samples can be attracted by a permanent magnet. There is a nonmagnetism-magnetisnl transition between polycrystalline NiAl alloy and nanostructure NiAl.

Key words: Nanostructured material, NiAl alloy, ESR, Nonmagnetism-magnetism transition
