Abstract
In the presented work, ScIn, a weak itinerant ferromagnet with no magnetic constituents, is doped with Er local moment ions, to form (ScEr)In. As increases, the Weiss-like temperature stays positive and nearly triples up to . Moreover, Er doping of as little as induces a cluster-glass state, which persists up to , as evidenced by dc and ac susceptibility measurements, and confirmed by the Vogel-Fulcher analysis.
