The diffuse neutron scattering in the Mn_{0.4}Cu_{0.6} alloy was measured in the temperature range 15-390K at the 3-axis neutron spectrometer at MARIA reactor in Świerk. The broad maxima of the neutron intensity were observed in the surrounding of the (0.5, 1, 0) reciprocal lattice point and other symmetry related points. The effect is similar to that observed in Mn-Cu alloys with lower Mn content at room temperature. Our results are in agreement with the earlier finding that the maxima of the short-range order incommensurate spin density wave scattering are placed at the (0.5±δ, 1, 0) reciprocal lattice point with a linear dependence of δ on the Mn concentration. In addition, some commensurate antiferromagnetic short-range order was found.
