Neutron-scattering measurements characterizing the magnetic behavior of single-crystal Cr[sub 1[minus][ital x]]Mn[sub [ital x]] ([ital x]=0.007) are reported. Four distinct phases are observed: paramagnetic, commensurate spin density wave (SDW), transversely polarized incommensurate SDW, and longitudinally polarized incommensurate SDW. Transitions between these phases occur at [ital T][sub [ital N]]=455 K, [ital T][sub IC]=182 K, and [ital T][sub SF]=85 K, respectively. A revised phase diagram for the Cr[sub 1[minus][ital x]]Mn[sub [ital x]] alloy system is presented in light of these data.
