  Magnetism in palladium has been the subject of much work and speculation.
Bulk crystalline palladium is paramagnetic with a high magnetic susceptibility.
Palladium under pressure and palladium nanoclusters have generated interest to
scrutinize its magnetic properties. Here we report another possibility:
Palladium may become an itinerant ferromagnet in the amorphous bulk phase at
atmospheric pressure. Atomic palladium is a d$^{10}$ element, whereas bulk
crystalline Pd is a d$^{10-x}$(sp)$^{x}$ material; this, together with the
possible presence of 'unsaturated bonds' in amorphous materials, may explain
the remnant magnetism reported herein. This work presents and discusses
magnetic effects in bulk amorphous palladium.
