Small-angle neutron experiments show that near the transition from superconductor to ferromagnet in ErRh4B4 scattering peaks occur at a wave vector |q's|=0.06 -1. The temperature and wave-vector dependence suggest this signal is due to oscillatory magnetization fluctuations caused by the electromagnetic coupling of magnetic and superconducting order parameters. The ferromagnetic Bragg scattering shows a 5% hysteresis and transition-temperature-smearing effects which are also due to magnetic-superconducting interactions. © 1980 The American Physical Society.
